Yes. We work with owner-led, mid-market and private-equity-backed companies across the Southeastern Connecticut metro area (Norwich–New London), including Groton, Norwich, Waterford and Mystic.
NEW LONDON, CONNECTICUT
Strategy and operations consulting in New London.
Southeastern Connecticut is a center of U.S. submarine design and construction and naval undersea operations, with pharmaceutical research, two large tribal casino resorts and the Millstone nuclear station rounding out the economy.
THE LOCAL ECONOMY
What drives business in New London.
General Dynamics Electric Boat designs submarines and builds major sections in Groton, and its expansion for the Columbia- and Virginia-class programs is driving heavy hiring. Naval Submarine Base New London and the U.S. Coast Guard Academy add federal payrolls, while Pfizer runs a major research and development campus in Groton. Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods are large hospitality employers, and State Pier in New London has been rebuilt as a staging port for offshore wind.

WHAT COMPANIES HERE FACE
The decisions in front of New London management teams.
Electric Boat's growth affects every employer in the region, pulling welders, electricians, engineers and planners away from smaller manufacturers and contractors. Suppliers to the submarine program must meet strict quality and security requirements and scale output on fixed defense schedules. Casinos face competition from newer gaming venues and online betting, and offshore wind delays have made port-related planning uncertain.
