What I Do
Practical expertise across every level of manufacturing
From shop floor improvement to boardroom advisory — six complementary services built around 25 years of hands-on operational experience.
01
ProcedureFlow Video SOPs
Replace paper instructions with clear, engaging video SOPs
ProcedureFlow transforms your standard operating procedures into short, structured video instructions that operators actually use. I work with your team to script, film, and publish video SOPs that reduce errors, speed up onboarding, and make compliance visible.
What you get
- Faster operator onboarding and training
- Reduced process errors and non-conformances
- Consistent method across all shifts and sites
- Audit-ready documentation that people actually follow
Ideal for
Manufacturers with complex or safety-critical processes, high operator turnover, or audit obligations who need documentation that works in practice, not just on paper.
02
Manufacturing Engineering
Solve the engineering problems holding your production back
I provide hands-on manufacturing engineering support for businesses that need to improve process capability, reduce waste, and get more from their equipment and people. Whether you have a specific bottleneck or a broader performance challenge, I work alongside your team to diagnose the root cause and implement lasting solutions.
What you get
- Improved process capability and first-pass yield
- Reduced scrap, rework, and downtime
- Better utilisation of equipment and labour
- Stronger engineering documentation and standards
Ideal for
Manufacturers experiencing recurring quality issues, capacity constraints, or high engineering costs who need practical, experienced support rather than a theoretical report.
03
Lean Consultancy
Embed lean thinking where it makes a real difference
I help manufacturing businesses identify and eliminate waste, improve flow, and build the internal capability to sustain improvement over time. My approach is practical and shop-floor led — not a classroom exercise. I work with your team to understand the current state, prioritise the biggest opportunities, and implement changes that stick.
What you get
- Reduced lead times and work-in-progress
- Improved productivity and throughput
- Stronger visual management and daily discipline
- A team that understands and owns continuous improvement
Ideal for
Manufacturers who know they have waste and inefficiency but lack the internal resource or expertise to tackle it systematically.
04
Training & Development
Build the capability your business needs to keep improving
I design and deliver practical lean and management training for manufacturing teams — from shop floor operators to senior leaders. All training is grounded in real manufacturing experience and tailored to your business context, so participants leave with tools and confidence they can apply immediately.
What you get
- Teams that understand lean principles and how to apply them
- Managers equipped to lead improvement and develop their people
- A shared language and approach to continuous improvement
- Measurable improvement in team performance and engagement
Ideal for
Manufacturers investing in their people and looking to build internal lean capability rather than relying permanently on external support.
05
Interim Management
Senior operational cover when you need it most
When a key role becomes vacant — through resignation, illness, or sudden growth — I provide experienced interim management cover across quality, production, engineering, and programme functions. I step in quickly, stabilise the operation, and leave the team in better shape than I found it.
What you get
- Operational continuity without a lengthy recruitment process
- Experienced leadership from day one
- Improvement delivered alongside day-to-day management
- A smooth handover when the permanent appointment is made
Ideal for
Manufacturers facing an unexpected vacancy in a critical operational or engineering role who need experienced cover at short notice.
06
Non-Executive Director
Independent strategic perspective for manufacturing businesses
As a non-executive director, I bring an independent, experienced voice to your board — challenging assumptions, supporting the executive team, and helping the business make better strategic decisions. My background in manufacturing operations means I can add particular value to businesses navigating growth, change, or operational complexity.
What you get
- Independent challenge and support for the executive team
- Stronger governance and strategic decision-making
- Operational insight applied to board-level discussions
- A trusted sounding board for the CEO and leadership team
Ideal for
Owner-managed or private equity-backed manufacturing businesses looking to strengthen their board with experienced, independent operational expertise.
