🟩Succession Planning
🟩Contingency Planning
🟩Fixed Asset Re-Use & Lifecycle Plan
🟩Project and Cost Management

📌Succession planning is crucial for SME’s, many have employees who have worked for the business since leaving school, valuable employees who have a wealth of knowledge and skills relevant to that particular business.  But what happens when they retire?  They walk out of the gate and take all of that knowledge with them.  This is where I can help – 

✅ by ensuring you have a future talent pool set up
✅ by mapping out the work processes of current employees
✅ by capturing relevant knowledge and experience for future generations

📌Contingency Planning – Many businesses were unprepared when lockdown hit us and struggled to keep going due to a lack of contingency planning. Contingency planning is crucial for any business and together we can plan, create and embed your own watertight Business Continuity Plan.

📌Fixed Asset Re-Use & Lifecycle Plan – Fixed Assets such as Robots, Conveyors etc, which go into creating production lines are a costly investment for UK Manufacturers, however by creating an A2R process those assets can provide far more value than many realise.

📌Project and Cost Management - Projects come in all shapes and sizes, whatever your project, having it mapped out with realistic timescales and achievable goals will ensure success.

So why not come on a journey with me. Let me show you our manufacturers of the future and how they can become your prospective workforce.
