We're a manufacturing consultancy that actually gets its hands dirty. Because we've spent years doing everything from operating machinery to presenting to boards, we don't just hand over a report. We help implement the change and make it stick.
"We let Chris work in the background while we focused on running the business. He brought back practical options, helped us move forward with confidence, and got our team bought in to the changes. We're in a much better place."CEO, Test & Measurement Industry
With two decades of experience across manufacturing, operations and manufacturing tech, Chris brings a practical, commercially minded approach to helping organisations improve efficiency and process control.
Starting his career as an apprentice machinist, mastering the art of tea making and carrying six cups at a time, before learning the skills required to machine tight tolerances in high nickel alloys.
