John has a real passion to help UK medium sized companies, (I first met him when I particpated in the "Productivity through People program" at Lancaster University). Within a few short visits to our facility he had a good grasp of the business and was able to help us identify our priorities. He reduced the complex situation down to the critical one or two things that will make an immediate difference and then helped us develop plans to address these priorities. He is equaly at home in the board room and on the shop floor, and quickly established trust with both myself and the operational staff. His initial report and recommendations were analytical, clear, relevant and very easy to understand. He is now helping us to implement these recommendations.
