Established in 2001, Winchester Consulting Limited (Wincon) began by providing a range of career transition, redeployment and out-placement support services across the UK advanced manufacturing, engineering and technology sectors. Responding to the evolving needs of our clients led to expansion into the nuclear and construction sectors with the development of web-enabled systems to also support wider recruitment and talent management activities.

These systems were then deployed to support key business sectors across three UK regions before being launched (at the request of BEIS) as a nationwide platform called the Talent Retention Solutions (TRS) programme.

The technology framework has progressively grown into a suite of talent management platforms and sector forums supporting the wider attraction, development and retention of people and skills within key business sectors.

We live in a rapidly changing business world with an increasing array of challenging demands and opportunities. Working life is becoming more complex and there is a growing pressure on both individuals and organisations to adapt quickly, think strategically and deliver consistently.

We believe that individuals have unique giftings and intrinsic value comprising the most important asset of any organisation. Our approach is strongly people focused and supported by both process and technology driven solutions as part of a wider strategy to achieve high levels of customer satisfaction and deliver solutions that create an immediate and lasting impact.

Wincon specialise in delivering technology based solutions to support talent management, personal development and career transition activities. We are also responsible for delivering tailored versions of the UK TRS programme on behalf of HM Government for the UK Construction sector (with BEIS) and the UK Aviation and Maritime sector (with DfT), together with leading sector organisations, trade associations and professional institutions.

This also involves refined versions of the Talentview (early careers platform) working with UK Universities, Colleges, UTCs and Schools to raise visibility of students and promote apprenticeship, graduate, traineeship, work experience and other opportunities across key business sectors.

Active engagements include working in conjunction with Combined Authorities, Local Enterprise Partnerships and key business sectors including: aerospace, aviation, construction, energy, engineering, manufacturing, nuclear, science and technology.
