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.
