"David visited our company for a series of advisory sessions on our manufacturing processes. With his expert advice & knowledge, we were able to put in place a functional & visible whiteboard system to manage daily production, and a bespoke capacity management system to manage our full production workload, and many other things. David has a gentle storytelling demeanour and we found ourselves enjoying putting his to-do lists into practise. We quickly learned that his advice was gold-dust & always reaped benefits. The whole team thoroughly enjoyed the process."
Francis McDonnell (Managing Director)
"As a business owner that has been through significant change over the past few years, I feel I am qualified to comment on the impact of working with Shine. From going through an MBO and working very much in the business, I realised that to grow the business I needed help and support. David came in and carried out a health check and has worked closely with me and the team over the past few years to facilitate the necessary changes. David and I have had very open and honest conversations about me personally and my leadership style. He also identified that the business lacked clarity in a number of areas.
It specifically needed clarity in its structure and from that has come clarity in roles and responsibilities of the leadership team and their day-to-day performance. Over the past few years the business has tripled its workforce, moved site and now very much on the path of world class manufacturing. We have changed from a business led from the top down, through employee engagement, ownership, and a focus on short term, medium term and long-term objectives that everyone is working towards.
David has become part of the team and things have gone so well that now David is now on our board as Non-Executive Director. I am now a committed believer that a business is only as successful as its team, and to be successful as a team you have to have a healthy organisation."
Gary Knight (Managing Director)
"David has worked closely with me on ‘Organisational Health’. He has a very different approach to how a business should be structured. Once it’s in place it makes so much more sense than the standard Org Charts. David has helped us with Roles and Responsibilities. Cultures and Behaviours, Core Values, Vision and Mission Statement and currently on our pay structure. He has also helped me to do meaningful one to one’s with my senior managers. From all this is the emergence of Clarity in all we do and a great attitude of ‘Team’ throughout our business. We are on the journey of an upside-down model of management which empowers all who work with us. David is very easy to work with and I’m feeling the benefit already. We always knew where we wanted to be but didn’t know how to get there. David has brought our aspirations to reality."
Pat Flowers (Managing Director)
"Thanks for your input with us this morning. Excellent support and we are all happy we have a great new structure going forward!!!"
Simon Brown (Managing Director)
"David’s knowledge and passion for the health of an organisation is exceptional. Every organisation should adopt a review and monitor its health on a regular basis."
Michael Pardoe (Managing Director)
"David’s experience within the manufacturing industry is extensive, whilst working on several business critical projects he has assisted our business to reduce waste reduction, improve inventory management and change our culture. He is a great facilitator across all levels; he initiates new ideas within his peer group and makes valid recommendations to improve business performance. Any project that David is involved with will be a great success because he empowers and enables his team to perform to the highest degree"
