FOOD & DRINK  CONSULTANCY &  SUPPORT

Food and drink sector consultancy and support is a core part of our practice, based on years of  experience in manufacturing, operations and supply chain roles. Our team have extensive UK and global experience in managing factories and food businesses through change, performance improvement and projects.

We can assist across technical, operations, marketing and other areas, using the skills, knowledge and expertise of our team and those of our trusted advisers.

• Food manufacturers can benefit from our direct experience in setting up and running blue chip operations on a global basis. Services include planning a factory layout and project management, change management, performance management, team development, and continuous improvement. We have a clear understanding of world class and how it is achieved.
• Branding, marketing and positioning – especially in the UK, we work with a number of agencies and sales specialists to help price, position and clarify your product differentiators, so that they can be presented professionally and sold into your target channels.
• Compliance – working hand in hand with trusted affiliates, we can help food and drink organisations ensure that they are compliant. In a minefield of requirements, we can prepare organisations for BRC, work towards ISO standards, and ensure that processes and procedures are meeting all basic GMP and hygiene standards.
• Procurement – with a global reach to suppliers of materials, packaging and other services, we are able to help clients reduce their cost base through more efective procurement.
• Interim Management – we can use contacts to provide middle and executive management resources to clients seeking a stop gap solution in the industry.
• Project management – helping companies design, plan and implement change programs across the business.
