Testimonals

‘We had no capacity or resource on site to project manage the implementation of a new IT system. The project lost pace, direction and was at risk of becoming a white elephant. We then engaged with LI Factory Excellence who had the ability to apply logic and problem solving to work through the issues, which no one else had done. We realised that what we were doing was actually working when, after a few bumps, the system worked, and the staff were engaged and happy. Life with a working IT system, gives us greater control and real-time information.  The next step is to further understand the system to maximise its benefit.’

‘The yellow belt training was carried out by Nathaniel who made the whole training relaxed, easy going and tolerable, but at the same time filled me with the knowledge and the quality’s needed to pass the course, he was an absolute pleasure to work with. The Knowledge and skills gained from the yellow belt training has played a pivotal part in an ongoing project and I can only think to imagine it will further help the business in the future. ‘
