The Pennant Group has grown significantly over the years, through a combination of organic growth (product and customer development) and through several acquisitions. In addition to our operational centres worldwide, the Group has collaborative arrangements with a strategic range of partners in many countries across the globe. Historically, defence contracts have formed a majority of our customer base. As we continue to innovate and develop our solutions, we are expanding our presence and entering new markets including rail, civil aerospace, nuclear, automobile and shipping.

Today, Pennant has become a firmly established world leading supplier of systems support, technical services and training solutions, supported by a global innovative team.

Our History

Founded in 1958, Pennant has evolved over the past six decades, from modest beginnings, into a market-leading technology-led business with a truly global customer base.

The Company was admitted to trading on the AIM market in 1998 and has traded as a public company ever since.

Pennant has embraced emerging technologies, growing substantially, and working on larger contracts, producing ever more sophisticated software solutions including emulations and the OmegaPS LSA product suite.

Over recent years, Pennant has grown its rail industry offering with the acquisition of Track Access Services in 2019 and Track Access Productions in 2023, as well as fortifying the Group’s system support software expertise and capability with the purchase of Absolute Data Group (ADG) and their R4i tool in 2020. ADG offered an industry-leading end-to-end Integrated Product Support (IPS)/Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) solution, which would complement the Group’s current offering. In 2023, the Group saw the launch of GenS as a successor product to OmegaPS. In 2024, the Auxilium suite was unveiled at the S1000D and IPS User Forum.
