Who we  work with

Firstfruits in Aviation

  • "Firstfruits provided specialist review and re-working of COOPANS governance on behalf of the 6 ANSPs. Their ability to act as a neutral voice has been valuable, helping identify key challenges, shape the narrative and enabling the COOPANS Alliance Board to make clear decisions. They then worked closely with various COOPANS teams to deliver new structures, remits, Terms of Reference and a new MoU.  We are grateful for their persistence and focus, helping COOPANS pursue a healthy and effective future."

    Mario Kunovec-Varga, Director General, Croatia Control 

  • “Firstfruits provided outstanding support to L3Harris over the past year as we engaged in the European market. Their team played a crucial role in helping us navigate the complex nature of European airspace requirements and the perspectives of the ANSP community. Their guidance ensured our team fully understood the nuances of the European environment as we shaped our solution. Throughout the process, the Firstfruits team invested significant time working through the details of our business offer with us, helping us think through how it would be received by the end users and what the right combination of elements would be. The analysis and insight they provided were instrumental in strengthening our proposal and contributed to the strong confidence shown by our corporate leadership. Their expertise, commitment, and partnership were invaluable throughout the process.”

    Jon Standley, Director of Business Development for ATM Solutions, L3Harris

  • “Firstfruits Services has been a trusted and inspiring partner for CANSO, bringing energy, and purpose to everything they do. Their strength in strategy and enabling change in Air Traffic Management helps translate ambition into clear, actionable outcomes for the industry.

    They  also truly stands out for their passion for the next generation. Through their close collaboration on the Tomorrow’s Voices programme, they have brought fresh thinking, strong engagement and real momentum, whether on stage, behind the scenes, or through the leadership and coordination of NexGen talent within their team.”

Delivering Safety Culture

  • “The Firstfruits team brings a special kind of energy to the room. Each team member brings a unique personality, skillset and approach. Together they challenge thinking, spark honest conversations, and create space for perspectives that often remain unseen. They are different in the best possible way: Creative without being fluffy. Strategic without being rigid. Analytical without being theoretical. And genuinely fun to work with!

    What distinguishes them is their deep understanding of organisational culture and the importance of the next generation and their expectations. They know that attracting and engaging future talent requires more than buzzwords, it requires meaningful work, authentic leadership, and cultures where young people can thrive. They know how to translate this into practical, tangible change.

    Safety culture and organisational transformation can easily become abstract concepts. Firstfruits makes them personal, relevant, and actionable. They combine sharp expertise with courage and curiosity and they are not afraid to ask the uncomfortable questions that lead to real progress.

    In the joint work I have done with Firstfruits supporting ANSPs, I have seen how they shift organisations from compliance thinking to commitment thinking. From ‘what do we have to do?’ to ‘what do we want to stand for?’

    If you are looking for partners who energise your organisation and help you drive meaningful, lasting change, Firstfruits is that partner.”

    Andrea Sack, Director of Safety, Security and Quality, Austro Control

  • “Firstfruits demonstrated exceptional capability in delivering work within a remarkably quick timeline. Their tools, data analysis, and interpretation were both effective and insightful, providing us with a strong foundation for in depth analysis and decision‑making.  There where were a few gremlins with the tooling and quality of final output, which the team responded to quickly and always with a customer centric approach.  Their contribution was instrumental in strengthening the impact of our safety culture programme and we look forwards to continuing to work together in future.”

    Nuno Cebola, Human Factors & Change Management Manager, SANS

Firstfruits in Sports

  • Firstfruits provided strategic direction and project management to ‘In the Box’, England Football’s Leagues and Clubs podcast.

    “Firstfruits Services have been invaluable in their approach to help support the strategic direction for marketing and communications.”

    Tom Lee, National Club Services Manager, The Football Association

  • Firstfruits worked with the English Football Association to create effect measures to change sideline behaviours in local youth football across England. Through design, testing and measuring the success of initiatives like the Silent Support Weekend, we helped the FA improve youth player experience and maintain engagement.

    “The collaborative working with internal and external stakeholders set the whole team up for success”
