G3 Systems Launch a Refreshed Strategic Plan

Wednesday, August 24th, 2022

G3 Systems Limited, the world-renowned provider of bespoke deployable containerised solutions, critical operational infrastructure and facilities support in austere locations has launched its refreshed 3-year Strategic Plan. The plan focuses on identifying areas for growth and diversification and seeks to promote core functions and capabilities to new clients and geographies; whilst capitalising on recent operational experience such as providing Fire and Rescue services in Afghanistan. The Plan also includes an increased focus on sustainability, environmental protection and social responsibility.

G3 Systems Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of IAP WWS Inc., has launched its refreshed 3-year Strategic Plan stating their vision to be “dominant in the provision of bespoke high quality deployable and fixed infrastructure and a leader of support services in austere environments”. This vision is underpinned by their company ethos of Ingenuity – Agility – Purpose and built on four strategic pillars: a relentless focus on the demands of the Customer and delivering that with excellence; empowering People with learning and growth to foster a safe and sustainable environment; achieving internal and external operational quality and efficiency through rigorous Business Process and diligent stewardship of Finances to ensure excellent value for money.

G3 Systems Limited has a 20-year history and an operationally proven track record of delivering in the most challenging and arduous environments. They are proud of their company culture of achieving the ‘out of the ordinary’, going to challenging places and working ‘as one’ with their clients while never failing and always looking after the people and the environment around them. They have been integral to the success of many long-term operational deployments in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Falkland Islands. Their modular, standardised and highly adaptable solutions such as the Deployable Engineer Workshop, Navy Forward Support Units and FCO Deployable Embassy have been and will continue to be excellent solutions to meet the needs of rapidly deployed government and non-government organisations.

Chamois Consulting Limited has also been engaged to assist G3 Systems Limited in the delivery of their strategy. They will be providing a particular focus on brand communications, client and stakeholder engagement and to help raise the social awareness of G3 Systems Limited products and services.

Mike Puckett, Managing Director at G3 Systems Limited said, “I am very proud of the G3 team and the significant progress we’ve made to date. Following a change in the nature of deployed operations, and through the refreshed strategy process, we’ve recognised that it is time to build on our social value interfaces, external communications, marketing and adopting new methods to enhance our collaborative working and to help share our vision and achieve our strategic goals. Having seen what has been achieved with other defence orientated companies, Chamois was the natural choice and I am really looking forward to working with them.”

Gareth Baker, Director of Media and PR at Chamois said “I am really excited to be working with G3 Systems Limited, because I was already sighted on some of their products from my time on operations. However, prior to spending time with the team, I had no idea of the depth, breadth and scale of their skill, operational pedigree and engineering expertise. I am very much looking forward to helping communicate their substantial capabilities to their target audiences.”

The Big Gear Show 22 – Bus Bum

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2022

Bus Bum was developed out of necessity by a longtime member of LA’s textile industry. She related that she had once sat on something that stained her pants so she sewed up a padded seat cushion which could be rolled up.

Bus Bum is available in a variety of colors. It is made in the US from anti-microbial and durable US materials. The slip cover can also be removed for cleaning.

This survival model seen here integrates a bug net and is designed to go down to around 40 deg F.
