Scaling Safely in the UK’s Thriving Space Economy.
The UK space sector is expanding rapidly, with new ventures moving from R&D into operational scale at unprecedented speed. But with growth comes complexity: regulatory requirements, high-hazard operations, and the need to protect people, assets, and reputation.
Finch Consulting brings proven expertise from some of the world’s most demanding industries, including energy, defence, mining, food and drink, to help space organisations navigate these challenges with confidence. We are independent, multidisciplinary consultants who work alongside you to enable innovation, not slow it down
Compliance in high-hazard sectors is often seen as a burden. We take a different view. At Finch, we see safety, health, and risk management as powerful enablers- frameworks that allow organisations to scale faster and with greater resilience.
Our approach to risk management ensures that your people, processes, and technology remain aligned, even as operations scale and evolve.
Our role is not to impose rigid templates, but to design systems that fit your organisation, your technology, and your culture.
Applying UK and international frameworks to laboratories, test facilities, and manufacturing environments.
Risk management for hazardous fuels, explosive atmospheres, and high-energy processes.
Ensuring compliance for equipment and processes used in cleanrooms, test rigs, and production lines.
Managing exposure to nanomaterials, cryogenics, propellants, and other emerging risks.
