Slingshot helps rail and engineering SMEs become the supplier the tier above picks first, by keeping RISQS evidence, tender packs and competence records current on one system your own people sign off, so nobody rebuilds the audit pack by hand each year.
A 30-minute call. Scope and fee are set on the call, not on this page.
Where our proof sits today: rail, engineering, construction, IT and the trades around them.

We've used Slingshot since our inception. They supported us with our branding and socials. Have been really impressed with their professionalism.
Work with Rob!
I've worked with Rob a few times now and can highly recommend! He's a lovely down to earth guy and really takes the time to understand what it is you need and how he can offer tailored help to support that! I'm also a designer so we have worked together on a couple of projects and can also recommend him as a good partner to do work with, good communication, feedback, timely - all the good stuff basically.
Amazing service.
Robert went above and beyond the call of duty when it came to designing and getting my sons racing website up and running. With very little to go on he designed and produced a fantastic site. All aspects required were well covered and all pages linked perfectly. Couldn't be happier with the service and after service recieved. Will continue to recommend to anyone looking for a website
Slingshot are great
Slingshot are great, they manage social media for us and take care of posting content. What I like is that they'll work with us to generate content for social media which we've struggled with in the past. Nothing is too much trouble.
So easy and painless
I've loved working with Rob on my website rebuild - he has made the whole process so easy and painless....
This is a brilliant service
This is a brilliant service, has saved me from the stress of remembering to post regularly, the boys are great and very helpful, well worth the reasonable cost. Thank you

I work with slingshot on a regular basis. They've help me create a digital presence for my business. They schedule regular posts with the highest of graphics and wording. I highly recommend this business as they've now linked me up with another business to create tickets and programmes for our next show.

Two people met the same problem from opposite ends. Antony Kearns spent thirty years leading transportation and engineering businesses, watching good firms carry the same repeatable work by hand. Miller Glenholmes came at it from the build side, shipping the systems that take that work off people.

Managing Director and Partner
Designs and ships every system on this site, with three and a half years, going on four, in civil engineering delivery behind it. Every site, dashboard and agent on this page is built and deployed by Miller, including the operator dashboards clients run their work through, a human gate in front of every agent, and the live builds for the rail and engineering firms on the client wall.
LinkedInGet in touch to discuss your requirements and we will connect you with the right member of the team.
A firm below Tier 1 sells to the tier above it. That buyer vets you on evidence, and the evidence is scattered across a shared drive, a spreadsheet and one person’s memory. None of this is a lead problem. It is the same five jobs done by hand every year.
Paid work with a written output you keep. We go through the four things the tier above checks, score each one on how the firm actually runs it today, and hand back the order to fix them in. Where a system earns its place, the audit says so and says what it would carry. Where a spreadsheet is fine, it says that too.
Then, if it is a fit, we build it: the dashboard your team runs the records on, and the agents that draft the repeatable work behind a human gate. You see every step in the same dashboard, and the build starts from the audit, not from a blank brief.
Nothing sends, publishes, spends or replaces work without your explicit approval.
Logins and keys sit in server-side configuration, encrypted at rest by the host, and never reach a browser or a page.
Every user has a role. A client login sees the client side and nothing of the operator side, and the database enforces that, not the screen.
Every record carries the firm it belongs to. One firm’s data is never returned in another firm’s view.
Each approval is written to a log with who, what and when. The log is append only: nobody, including us, can edit or delete a line.
Your IT provider is welcome on the first call. In this sector they are usually the person who has to say yes, and we would rather answer them early.
One surface for leads, pipeline and reporting. Press play and watch it run.
Three capacity questions and a box for the thing that is keeping you up. No revenue question, because the size of this job is frameworks, tenders and people, not turnover.
Send it, pick a slot, and the 30 minutes go on your firm rather than on the basics. If it is not a fit we say so on the call.
Skip the form and book straight inNo. We do not guarantee tender wins. A tender is scored by a panel against your price, your method, your safety record and the evidence attached, and none of that is ours to promise.
What we do is make sure the evidence exists, is current and is where the bid team can reach it on the day, so a submission is never weakened by admin. The outcome we work to is the supplier the tier above picks first, not a count of wins.
No. Slingshot writes the copy and builds the pages and the systems. A chartered engineer at your firm owns anything technical and puts their name on it. We do not produce engineering deliverables, we do not act as principal designer or principal contractor, and we will not imply that we do.
No, and we will not build it that way. Nothing sends, publishes, spends or replaces work without your explicit approval. Agents research, draft and check. A named person at your firm approves, and that approval is written to a log the database will not let anyone edit or delete.
No. Framework places and prequalification are decided by the scheme and the buyer, and no website or dashboard puts you on one. What the work does is stop you losing credibility at the exact moment a Tier 1 estimator vets you online before an award, and stop the annual audit pack being rebuilt by hand.
It depends on what it has to cover: how many frameworks you are live on, how many tenders you submit a quarter and how many people the records have to track. That is why the form asks those three things and never asks your revenue. You get the figure on the call, in writing afterwards, and it does not move once we shake on it.
Thirty minutes. First we learn how you run prequalification, tenders and competence records today. Then what is working, what is not, and where the hours are going. Then, if it reads like a fit, we walk through what the audit would look at and agree the fee. If it is not a fit we say so on the call. You pick the slot yourself against the real diary, so nothing gets booked into a gap that was never there.
Your people, by role, and nobody else. Credentials sit server-side and never reach a browser. A client login sees only that client’s records. Every approval is logged with who, what and when. If your IT provider wants to ask the security questions before anything starts, that is the right order and we will take the call.
Two free reads, no sales call attached. The Board AI Readiness Score is seven questions and one number a board understands. The AI Advantage read is six boxes on how the firm runs, with the result yours to keep. Either one is a fair place to start.
Thirty minutes, booked against the real diary. You leave with a clear read on whether the audit is worth doing, and the fee if it is.
