Advice
Welcome back. I re-blocked the other account, and copy here from its talk page some information which may be useful to you.

You have very properly declared your interest as a representative of Qinetiq. You will understand that the great danger for an anyone-can-edit encyclopedia is that it will be used by those wishing to advertise themselves or push a point of view; Wikipedia is extremely sensitive to this danger, hence our strong rules on COI: In general it will be best for you to suggest on an article talk page a change you would like to see, declaring your interest, rather than edit an article directly.
 * Conflict of Interest
 * Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest

If you or your colleagues, when editing on behalf of Qinetiq, declare your interest up front and observe those rules, you should find people very willing to help. You may not achieve exactly what you want - changes are made by WP:Consensus, and failing that by following the WP:Dispute resolution process - but you should be able to achieve a satisfactory resolution, though the response may not always be as rapid as you might wish, since everyone here is a volunteer. One way to get a response is to put helpme (two curly bracket each side) at the bottom of your talk page, with a question or request below it.
