History

In 1978, a small group of engineers at the European Space Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany, believed they would be more valuable if they teamed up to provide services to their client, the European Space Agency (ESA). They bid for and won a contract to provide satellite operations support to ESA missions, and VEGA was formed.

 

30 years later, VEGA still holds that original contract, which has been re-bid and re-won on a number of occasions.

 

During the past three decades, as VEGA grew, the range of specialist consulting services increased, and we found exciting opportunities where organisations faced technologically sophisticated, people-dependent, business-critical challenges, and we diversified successfully into both the Defence and Government markets.

 

Over time, VEGA has evolved a unique approach, based on our in-depth experience of client domains, that assures client value is at the heart of business change and management, delivering exceptional levels of client results.

 

On 14 February 2008, VEGA was delisted as a Public Limited Company from the London Stock Exchange, following its acquisition by Finmeccanica SPA ("Finmeccanica").

 

Today, VEGA employs nearly 200 highly-skilled people working in Critical National Infrastructure, Defence, Government, and Security and Resilience, delivering specialist services to clients throughout the UK.
