Ongoing seamless updates
Science Group is a global science and technology consultancy operating across highly specialised sectors including innovation, aviation, defence, medical, food science and advanced engineering.
The group operates across four core websites, representing 10 distinct brands, including Science Group, Sagentia Innovation, Sagentia Aviation, Sagentia Defence, Sagentia Medical, TSG, Leatherhead Food Research, CTO Forum, Frontier Smart Technologies and CMS2.
Each brand serves a different audience and market, while sitting under a single group structure, making clarity, consistency and scalability essential.
Science Group needed a digital partner that could confidently support a complex, multi-brand digital estate, not just reactively, but proactively.
Alongside keeping multiple websites secure and up to date, the group wanted ongoing development support to continually improve their sites, adapt to organisational change, and deliver larger redevelopment projects when required.
This included managing day-to-day changes and additions across existing websites, consolidating brands where appropriate, and redeveloping key platforms as the group evolved.
The brief was clear:
Keep everything secure, stable and future-ready, while providing the flexibility to scale, merge and rebuild as the organisation grows.
Goals and objectives
- Maintain and protect a multi-brand, multi-site website ecosystem
- Ensure all sites remain secure, stable and well maintained
- Provide proactive development support — not just maintenance
- Support brand consolidation through website and brand mergers
- Deliver major redevelopment projects alongside ongoing support
- Act as a long-term technical partner embedded within the group
The aim wasn’t just to maintain websites — it was to actively support evolution, clarity and growth.
With four websites supporting ten brands, Science Group’s digital setup needed to balance brand independence with group-wide efficiency.

A proactive, retainer-led partnership
First Internet supports Science Group through a monthly website retainer covering both maintenance and proactive development.
This includes:
- Ongoing security monitoring and plugin updates
- Regular CMS maintenance and stability checks
- Proactive development work and site improvements
- Day-to-day changes and additions across all websites
- Strategic input to prioritise work across brands
As the value of this partnership grew, the retainer was recently doubled, reflecting the trust placed in First Internet to deliver ongoing, high-impact development support — not just keep the lights on.
Redeveloping and consolidating the Sagentia website
A key milestone in the partnership was the full redevelopment of the Sagentia website, alongside the consolidation of multiple subsidiary companies into a single, cohesive platform.
This involved:
- Redesigning and redeveloping the Sagentia website
- Merging subsidiary brands into a unified structure
- Preserving SEO performance and content equity
- Improving clarity for users navigating multiple service areas
The result was a streamlined, scalable platform that better reflects the breadth of the Sagentia brand, while simplifying long-term management.
Ongoing site management and evolution
Beyond major projects, First Internet manages all ongoing changes and additions across Science Group’s current websites, ensuring updates are delivered quickly, safely and consistently.
This allows internal teams to move faster, without technical bottlenecks or risk.
Planning the next phase
With the Sagentia platform successfully redeveloped and consolidated, the partnership continues to evolve. First Internet is now working with Science Group in the early stages of planning a redevelopment of the Science Group website itself, ensuring the next phase is built on a strong, considered foundation.
The outcome
✔ A trusted, long-term digital partner
✔ Secure, well-maintained and continually improving websites
✔ Proactive development, not reactive fixes
✔ Scalable support for brand consolidation and redevelopment
By combining dependable maintenance with strategic development thinking, First Internet continues to support Science Group’s digital presence — helping complex organisations simplify, scale and move forward with confidence.
The partnership has delivered long-term, compounding value across Science Group’s digital estate.
- Four websites supporting 10 brands, all securely maintained
- Proactive development delivered through an expanded retainer
- Successful redevelopment and consolidation of the Sagentia platform
- Ongoing site changes and improvements handled seamlessly
- Reduced complexity and improved manageability across the group
Most importantly, Science Group now has a digital setup, and a partner, that supports change, rather than resisting it.
