It was really useful getting advice from someone with so much experience in the manufacturing industry. We now have things that we can address straight away to make immediate improvements. The other benefit was that all the recommendations given were cost effective which meant we as a company didn’t need to spend a lot of money to make these improvements.
Tom Dean – Business Development Manager, Screentec
All the staff at Border enjoyed working with the advisors. We are a small company and are all very busy with our day to day tasks, but taking time to step back and try to look at what we do purely from a customer perspective was a very useful exercise. The support helped facilitate this and recommendations were both practical and applicable.
