STEVE WILLIAMS - MANAGING DIRECTOR AT FORCE TECHNOLOGY LIMITED

"Ian has become a trusted and valued member of our team who just doesn't work here all of the time."

ANDY OKOLOWICZ - FACTORY MANAGER AT NEW BALANCE

"Having undertaken similar work for a variety of different companies in different manufacturing sectors, Ian brings a wealth of knowledge and experience coupled with an eye for detail, to any project. Ian successfully guided our desired outcomes in a short space of time and mentored our Production Supervisor to ensure the process was consistent and manageable before handing over the reins. Ian was always accessible to answer queries during the project even when not on site.

We would like to thank Ian for his help and guidance with this project and would highly recommend Ian to anyone who has any type of manufacturing process challenge which would benefit from a fresh pair of experienced eyes... it will pay you dividends!"

GARY HEWITT - MANAGING DIRECTOR AT NORTHERN HI-TEC

"We have and continue to find Ian's consultancy very beneficial with significant return on investment through increased engagement and efficiency gains. His experience shines out when dealing with all aspects of manufacturing and operational issues. Ian quickly gained a good understanding of the business, identifying the issues and providing simple, practical solutions all of which carried significant value. Ian quickly gained trust and respect from our staff as a result of his experience, professionalism and ability to communicate at all levels.

The training material was perfect and provided crystal clear focus across our teams. We were able to discuss and tailor all training and development programmes upfront to ensure they would deliver the desired outcome. Dealing with Ian is very straightforward and always seems to deliver quick, positive results and is excellent value for money."

PAUL MALLINSON - TECHNICAL & OPERATIONS DIRECTOR AT PLAYDALE PLAYGROUNDS

"Ian's first visit to our factory was a catalyst for change. He is insightful to an almost embarrassing degree. Intelligent, good humoured but resolute, means that action has to be taken when he casts his eye over a facility.

He is able to coach a team to realise a better way to do things for themselves, with measures in place to ensure the new standards are maintained. He has been instrumental in significant reductions of work in progress and stock holdings within our business whilst at the same time improving our ability to respond to customer demand. I cannot recommend him highly enough."

MARTIN ASHBY - MANAGING DIRECTOR AT ESSE ENGINEERING

"Ian's input, both personally and professionally, has been extremely valuable. His effort and hard work on our behalf has helped us to understand the level of improvement we can aspire to."

NATHAN BECKWITH - MANAGING DIRECTOR AT COMFORTEX
