More testimonials

Here are some more of the things that our clients have said about us:

When Jan and I met two years or so ago I was up to my cap badge in consultants. It didn’t exactly get off to a good start. But my team saw through this and did it, and the bottom line is that we got 30% reduction in scrap, up to 40%. From a person who has spent his life trying to get 1% or 2% improvements this is amazing.
Managing Director introducing a management workshop

This is real money in the Bank...the disappointing thing of course is that this dispels a well held belief in corporate terms that Consultants add little value. Thank you for going against the grain.
From a customer to a PMI Consultant

I would certainly recommend the PMI programme to anyone and particularly encourage supply areas to understand the principles of a system.
Operations Manager, Airbus UK.

The team at Clacton are truly passionate about process improvement and their rigorous application on the methodology generated cost savings of over 15% whilst at the same time delivering improved customer satisfaction and reduced complaints.
Operations Director, The Woolwich

This is a great workshop because of its experiential style and because the instructors are so full of knowledge and experience themselves.
A recent Lean Workshop delegate

The course reinforced much of what I already knew, introduced a number of extremely useful Six Sigma tools and techniques and was a fun way to spend ten days of training.
Recent Green Belt delegate

Trainers did a very good job with a group from very varied backgrounds and levels of knowledge.
