Testimonials
I worked with Martin on our Lean Programme and know him to be highly knowledgeable, professional, and an enormous business and technical resource. I came to rely on his expertise, and also his ability to communicate tech-speak to engineers as well as “laymen”.
Attention to detail is sound, and he has a skill-full sense of balance between the company’s needs and the customer’s needs, resulting in a win–win situation for both. He had an excellent rapport with customers as well as colleagues.
Greenview were highly recommended to us by Rachel Eade, CBE, at the Manufacturing Advisory Service. Having now worked with Martin Green at Greenview, they had a great impact on the business. Previously we had others try and fail in the past – as we’ve been attempting to implement lean for quite some time. Greenview can click into everyone’s psyche, whether that be management or shop floor.
In addition, costs have reduced and we’re using three people less a month (who were temporary) and turnover has increased. I can see smiles on the quality managers faces, they will be presenting on low internal quality costs as a direct result of the work Martin delivered.
Their strengths are in their communication, in the ability to “win people over” and in delivery. We had tried many lean consultants who had lots of knowledge on the tools and techniques but couldn’t transfer this into delivery – Greenview can. They are also very hands on and practical, constantly motivating and challenging ideas.
In summary, what Greenview did for the business was “inspired change”.
SWMF selected Greenview to develop and implement our lean and excellence management system. The remit was in line with our business requirements which included working methods, standard working, process reviews, and training of staff.
Greenview accomplished all of these goals very successfully, they were highly focused, detail orientated, and proactively sought our feedback to skilfully identify a tailored system. This resulted in being awarded the prestigious ‘Supply Chains in the 21st Century’ Award, the first awarded to a UK company in our business sector
We have recently achieved the SC21 Silver Award and the credit for achieving this lied mostly with Greenview. Martin is incredibly hands on and not afraid to challenge or push back with lean principles.
Prior to bringing Greenview on board HSM felt that they were making good progress towards achieving SC21. Martin on his arrival quite quickly illustrated that they hadn’t “scratched the surface” and advised they take a different approach which he led. This was definitely the right move and required someone of Martin’s strength of character and knowledge to bravely move away from the work they had already done.
We confirm Greenview’s ability to deliver and have continued to hire them since.
