“From the first initial meeting with Richard, we were able to fast track the gap analysis and make plan to make the improvements. Using Richard’s experiences, it allowed us to un-block internal roadblocks preventing the improvements to be made on site. Once implemented, we expect this project will benefit to grow the business.”
