SA Group’s values are based on truths about who we are and the way we work with clients and colleagues alike. Who we are is as important as what we do, and we know that people matter as much as process.

Problems really annoy us and we keep niggling at them until we know how to solve them. We ask questions – lots of questions – because it matters to us that we reach the right solution. And because we’re focussed on solving your problem, we work collaboratively with everyone in the team to get the job done, bringing in someone else’s expertise if that’s what’s best for our customer.
You and what you need matter most. We understand that you need to trust the people you work with – because the stakes are too high to fail. We retain clients and colleagues for an unusually long time, and we think this is because we’re unusually good at building proper, human based relationships.
As a company we’re independent with no hidden profit motive, affiliation or bias, which means that you get the advice that’s genuinely right for you. We won’t cut corners for a quick finish. We’re direct and to the point, and believe in the importance of honest communication. And we know that life outside of work matters too.
Integrity and consistency of purpose is critical to us to make sure we deliver the very best service to you. We seek to create long term relationships with our clients that are not only productive but also enjoyable and inspirational for everyone in the team.
We’re not interested in making a quick short term gain; that’s not the way to create a valued trusting relationship. We only use experienced consultants on your business because we know there’s nothing more frustrating than appointing a consultancy on the basis of their A-team bid and then finding out that your day to day resource will be more junior.
We prefer to work in partnership with your in-house team, and act alongside them so they understand the process and rationale at every stage. We also offer bespoke training and skills transfer as part of our consultancy role with you.
SA Group evolved from a smaller consultancy made up mainly of ex-Forces professionals who continued to work with colleagues at the MoD to provide digital and technical expertise. We’ve since grown into a much broader public sector and commercial consultancy with experienced people from many different backgrounds. We’re proud of our connection with the Forces though and continue to support ex-servicemen and women with their ongoing careers where we can.
At SA Group we share a passion for sport and the great outdoors. We’re lucky to be HQ-ed in a beautiful part of Wiltshire so several of us take the opportunity to run together in the countryside before work or at lunchtime.
We want to help support team sport wherever possible, which is why we sponsor several local and regional teams. Check out our list of sponsorship partners for more info.

“Without intelligence and close co-operation, there can be no war on terror.

SA Group played a vital role in delivering that capability.”
