Shared vision

In 2005, Stanley Carter and Nick Prest independently arrived at a shared vision for a federation of companies in the defence and security technical services market, based on the following core values:

  • Independent

  • Expert

  • Practically oriented

  • Flexible

  • Cost-effective

  • Growing

We believe that the accessible UK market for such services is large and offers scope for expansion, whilst a significant proportion of the supplier base is fragmented and provides opportunities for consolidation. Cohort seeks to make further targeted acquisitions of complementary businesses.
