£1.2m Saved. Zero Compliance Breaches. One Sharper Hybrid Model.

HR, Finance, Procurement, and Admin

Lean. Compliant. Scalable. How Leonardo Rewired Its Workforce Model.

Leonardo needed to boost productivity across its non-technical corporate functions, from HR to Finance and Administration; without compromising compliance, control, or cost.

Enter Morson Edge. We built a bespoke hybrid outsourcing model that blended on-site integration, off-site scalability, and embedded expertise; creating a workforce ecosystem that flexes as fast as the business moves.

Challenges faced & overcome.

Complexity was slowing progress.

Leonardo’s corporate operations spanned multiple UK locations and business units. Each carried its own processes, peaks, and pressures.

Key pain points:

• Fragmented processes across departments.

• Cost inefficiencies from traditional in-house resourcing.

• Difficulty scaling quickly for project surges.

• Need for secure, compliant delivery within a defence-grade environment.

In short: a world-class organisation needed a world-class workforce solution that delivered agility without breaking structure.

The Solution

Sharper thinking. Smarter outsourcing.

Morson Edge designed a hybrid outsourced solution — blending permanent and contingent resource management with embedded HR expertise.

Our model covered:

• HR, Finance, Procurement, and Admin functions under a single, unified service model.

• On-site Morson Edge experts embedded within Leonardo teams for instant response.

• Off-site shared service teams for flexible surge and cost control.

• Transparent governance, data, and metrics for every role and process.

Outcome?
A leaner, smarter, and more adaptive operation — fully compliant, commercially efficient, and built to flex at speed.

The Impact

Measured performance. Real results.

• £1.2m cost efficiencies delivered in year one.

• 30% reduction in time-to-fill for key support roles.

• Consistent SLA performance across all sites.

• Zero compliance breaches in high-security environments.

Beyond metrics, the real success lay in partnership. Leonardo viewed Morson Edge not as an outsourcer, but as a trusted extension of their organisation.
