About us
Who is Horsell?
We are a 100% Australian, family and veteran owned professional services business which assists
governments to make better procurement decisions for the Defence sector.
How do we do that?
We consult to both sides of the defence market - the buyer and the seller, but never on the same project. With the buyer (governments/prime contractors) we assist them define exactly what they need to buy and then make wise choices from the best options available in the market.
With the seller (suppliers/subcontractors) we help them respond to tenders so they have the best chance of showcasing quality products and services to key decision-makers.
Why is what we do important?
By lending our expertise to both parties we are ultimately helping to protect national sovereignty by ensuring defence force personnel can do their job with the confidence knowing they have access to the best equipment tax-payer money can buy.
‘Make Complex Simple’? What does that mean?
Procuring defence goods and services is a complex process requiring deep expertise and understanding of many interdependent variables. Other consulting companies often try to introduce complexity because this extends project scope and increases billable opportunities - they make it about them. In contrast, we believe in transparency and the sharing of our knowledge and expertise and making complex simple - we make it about you.
