Services

 

General Management

We analyse and assess business problems leading to clear proposals which are discussed and agreed with the business.  We pride ourselves with practical solutions that work.

Mentoring

We work with directors of small and medium sized companies to develop their management skills and knowledge to enable to them to cover all facets of their business. This is normally done over a period of time during which the mentor can be on call to provide advice or to discuss possible solutions to issues of the moment.

Project/Change Management

We have wide experience of organising complex changes within financial and time constraints to maintain strategic direction. This has been demonstrated through leading a team that successfully implemented a new computer system across the business and implementing a more efficient layout of a repacking facility during peak operation.

Supply Chain Improvement

One of our specialist areas of expertise is optimising supply chains to achieve real and lasting savings and service enhancements. This has varied from setting up completely new networks including new Regional Distribution Centre saving several million to changing distribution routing saving a few thousand.

Business Continuity Planning

We work with companies to analysis risks to the business and then develop business continuity plans to mitigate these risks should they ever occur. Jock Millican has wide experience in this field, having led business recovery after Buncefield oil depot fire destroyed main warehouse and organised product recalls with minimium publicity. These were achieved by having a clear risk management process in place before and then implementing it.

Developing Strategic Direction

We will propose clear strategic direction of a business through sound understanding of the owner’s vision thereby increasing competitive edge, market share and improving return on investment for the shareholders. This has been delivered to various businesses including planning and implementing the integration of 2 supply chains and achieving cost savings of £2m per annum on a cost base of £30m.
