- Co-creating and embedding a culture of Continuous Improvement and Operational Excellence within a highly unionised Fortune 500 Manufacturing facility with over 1000 people. Delivered Black Belt projects and specific improvement programmes all geared to reduce waste and deliver cost savings year on year. The successful enablement of staff to display a high maturity of problem solving and targeting of process waste was the pinnacle of the programme.
- Successfully recovered the delivery of a £10m scope of work to an Oil and Gas major which enabled them to enable first oil production and maximise oil production rates in Africa.
