We are delighted to announce that Mike Tulip has recently been appointed as Defence Director, Sagentia Innovation, a new role that reinforces our strategic goal to support UK defence. Mike, who has previously worked for UK MOD, NATO, and BAE Systems, joins from our sister company TP Group, which has a long-established presence in defence.

Sister company TP Group is already a trusted supplier of the MOD, Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), and other major players in defence. Mike says Sagentia Innovation holds similarly high standards of delivery, integrity, and confidentiality which will reassure decision makers.

“In my early conversations with Sagentia Innovation, it is clear the team brings deep knowledge and a fresh perspective, as well as useful insights from the industrial, chemical, energy, and medical sectors,” Mike explains. “With more than 200 highly qualified science and technology professionals there is a wealth of talent waiting to be tapped by defence agencies and organisations.”

Sagentia Innovation can support defence organisations to fulfil their goals by bringing together TP Group’s domain and business knowledge with the broad experience of our scientists and  technologists, who hold advanced expertise across a wide range of disciplines from physical and life sciences to data science, electronics and mechanical engineering. We work across the lifecycle from early research through to product development. With Mike on board, we are in a strong position to apply these capabilities to specific defence needs.
