‘The workshop was excellent. It really made you focus on the work systems and analyse how and why we do what we do. The process has resulted in a much stream-lined operation with time, cost and space savings. We will now look at other work systems with a view to applying Lean there as well’
Richard Parsons, Production Manager, Delamere Nursery
“Previously we had equated extra sales to an increase in stocks and resources. Through Lean Retail we discovered that it could also be achieved by eliminating ‘waste’ and not by just throwing resource at the problem.”
Peter Self, Whitehall Garden Centre
“Chessington Garden Centre has benefited enormously on the bottom line from the Lean projects completed to date. Neil Fedden clicked very quickly with our culture which is very important when approaching change within the business. I am sure a large part of the success is down to how each Lean project was presented by Neil.”
Jolyon Martin, Managing Director of Chessington Garden Centre
“We could soon see the potential of the training course and we could apply it to our company quickly and easily. Our sales have increased already and it’s all down to this improved way of working.”
Tim Woods, Hendy’s Group Financial Controller
