Bridgehead Consultancy

What Bridgehead Consultancy does

Bridgehead Consultancy is a UK-based professional services firm that operates as a subsidiary of the Munelly Group, delivering work-winning bid consultancy to construction and infrastructure clients. The firm operates a five-pillar service model spanning Positioning (capture planning, bid library, PR/marketing), Solutioning (commercial strategy, technical strategy, risk assessment), Pitching (bid management, bid writing, design management, interview prep), Delivering (logistics, access control, IT, payroll via Munelly sister companies), and Learning (continuous improvement, lessons learned). It serves tier-1 contractors, specialist subcontractors (M&E, FM, rail, fire security, envelope), SME contractors, and public sector organizations across the UK, Ireland, and internationally.

The firm's technology stack is modest by design. ConstructAI, a secure AI product developed by parent Munelly Group and tailored to construction bid workflows, supports bid teams alongside digital bid support tools for content audits, bid library optimization, and critical friend reviews. The firm holds LRQA ISO certification and CLOCS accreditation for construction logistics planning.

Bridgehead generates revenue through professional services fees on a flexible, pay-as-you-go engagement model with no long-term client commitments. The firm employs approximately 11 people and is led by Managing Director Ken Erskine, a 40-year veteran who has secured £30bn in contract awards across his career. Customer concentration lies in enterprise UK contractors and is project-tender based, with named customers spanning facilities management, aviation security, fire security, M&E, envelope, and tier-1 global contracting. Distribution is direct consultative sales, supplemented by content marketing (LinkedIn, blog, PR/Bidding Quarterly). The operating model leverages Munelly Group's broader ecosystem of logistics, geospatial surveying, IT, payroll, recruitment, and security subsidiaries to extend service scope without proportional fixed overhead.
