Head of Regulatory Services​, Brigend Borough Council

“We are a rapidly growing company and hired Ian to evaluate our current situation, look at our growth plans and help us put the tools in place to execute those plans. What he provided was a very insightful analysis that revealed how constrained we are and what our options were to deal with those constraints. His understanding of warehousing and processes proved invaluable and helped us avoid making some very costly errors. Thanks to his expertise and analysis we have a much better understanding and plan to proceed. Thank you, Ian!!”

Jim Bridges

“Ian conducted a post WMS implementation review for us to identify root causes relating to the failure to achieve expected performance benefits and to make recommendations to resolve such issues. Ian’s approach was highly structured and he quickly got to the heart of the real issues due to his in-depth operational experience and understanding of WMS functionality combined with effective implementation strategy. The results delivered were structured and informative, giving detail to the issues and resolutions thereby providing the business with a plan for implementing corrective actions. Ian’s approach is always professional and honest, and I would be happy to enlist his services in the future where necessary.”
