Cloudhill Productions’ JOSCAR journey

Recognised credibility, reduced administrative burden, and greater confidence for Defence sector clients.

Who is Cloudhill Productions?

Cloudhill Productions is a veteran-led video production company specialising in the defence, security and innovation sectors. Founded by former British Army personnel with over 50 years of combined military experience, the company combines technical understanding with a strong foundation in storytelling.

Working across a broad range of defence organisations - from primes to SMEs and innovation programmes - Cloudhill supports clients in communicating complex projects through video, photography and digital media. Its military background enables the team to operate seamlessly alongside engineers, service personnel and programme teams, translating technical capability into clear, engaging and impactful narratives.

Prior to joining JOSCAR

Operating within the Defence sector requires suppliers to meet rigorous standards of governance, compliance and assurance.

Cloudhill Productions was required to complete multiple supplier questionnaires for different organisations, often duplicating similar information across platforms.

For a specialist SME, this created a notable administrative burden and slowed engagement with prospective clients.

In an environment where trust and credibility are critical, the ability to demonstrate compliance clearly, consistently and efficiently is essential to building strong relationships and securing new opportunities.

A recognised and efficient approach to supplier assurance

By achieving JOSCAR registration, Cloudhill Productions gained access to a recognised platform for demonstrating governance, compliance and operational readiness within the Defence sector.

Through a single, centralised supplier profile, the organisation can now share key information on policies, processes and standards with multiple customers. This removes duplication, streamlines the supplier assurance process and improves efficiency.

As a result, Cloudhill is able to focus more time on delivering high-quality work that supports Defence organisations, while maintaining a strong, credible presence across the sector.

How Cloudhill Productions have benefited

Recognised credibility within Defence

JOSCAR provides a widely accepted standard that demonstrates alignment with governance and compliance expectations across the sector.

Reduced administrative workload

A single supplier profile removes the need to complete multiple questionnaires, saving time and resources.

Greater confidence for potential clients

Registration offers reassurance to procurement teams, signalling readiness to operate within Defence supply chains.

"Being part of the JOSCAR supplier community has been extremely valuable for our business. It allows us to demonstrate our governance and compliance credentials to Defence organisations in a clear and recognised way.

As we’ve grown year on year in Defence, being JOSCAR registered has never just been a box-tick for us. It’s part of how we show we take this space seriously."

"JOSCAR matters because it reduces friction for everyone involved. Less duplication. Less red tape. Fewer hoops for suppliers to jump through just to get in the room. And more time spent actually doing the work.

I would definitely recommend JOSCAR to other suppliers working within the Defence sector.”
