CQM Training & Consultancy Joins ADS to Champion Skills, Operational Excellence, and Supply Chain Resilience Across Aerospace, Defence, Security, and Space
CQM Training & Consultancy (CQM T&C) is proud to join ADS, the UK’s premier trade association for the aerospace, defence, security, and space sectors.
With over 30 years of experience, CQM T&C partners with organisations to deliver business focused Lean Six Sigma and Continuous Improvement programmes that build resilient, sovereign supply chains, boost productivity, and unlock sustainable value creation.
The recently published Defence Industrial Strategy reinforces the vital role the Aerospace & Defence industries play in driving innovation, high-quality employment, and regional prosperity. It also highlights the urgent need to close skills gaps, develop future-fit workforces, and ensure that every pound of investment, whether that is in new technology, capital equipment, or workforce capability, delivers maximum return on value.
As government investment grows through initiatives such as the Sustainable Capability Solutions (SCS) framework, £250m Defence Growth Deals, and programmes like SC21, there is an unprecedented opportunity for organisations to align people, processes, and technology to strengthen the UK’s position on the global stage.
CQM T&C works closely with major primes and Tier 1 suppliers, with a proven track record of supporting organisations at every level of the supply chain to embed a culture of excellence, integrate new technologies, and deliver operational performance that meets ambitious strategic objectives. By putting people at the centre, developing skills, leadership, and culture, CQM T&C enables businesses to adapt to evolving global challenges while achieving measurable improvements in productivity and performance.
“Joining ADS strengthens our ability to support organisations across these critical sectors,” said Cameron Hobson, Group Marketing Manager at CQM Training & Consultancy. “Whether it’s helping manufacturers improve efficiency, developing the next generation of leaders across the supply chain, or supporting companies to achieve the best return on investment, our mission is to equip teams with the skills and tools to thrive in a highly competitive global marketplace.”
As ADS members navigate a period of unprecedented change and opportunity, CQM T&C is ready to partner with the community to tackle today’s most pressing challenges, from boosting productivity and driving innovation to securing sovereign capability and safeguarding the UK’s supply chains for the future.
