“Rutland selected Newton on the back of a longstanding relationship and proven track record in operational improvement. Newton has made significant improvements in several of our previous investments, delivering material savings on
each occasion.”

Ben Slatter, Partner at Rutland

“Newton performed a series of complex split-solving exercises on the shop-floor with our machine operators to identify the causes of the capacity inefficiencies. Working together, this enabled us to challenge cycle times, which ultimately allowed us to increase machine speed by 50% on some products, allowing for all manufacturing to be brought in-house.”

Les Jakeman, Group Manufacturing Director
at CeDo

“We made a strategic decision to enhance the efficiency of our production line. We wanted to better support our customers by providing efficient, high quality and low cost assembly solutions. Newton’s Pulse™ Production Management System has helped manage the variation of the build process, while consolidating the cost
per job.”

Chris Dunn, Land Systems Director at Babcock

“The success that Newton brought to our Burnley site in their recently completed project provided the evidence to support a roll out. By working on the shop floor at Burnley, Newton’s engineers were able to provide us with practical solutions that fixed bottlenecks and other problems in our manufacturing processes and supply chain. They didn’t just produce data and a thick report, but passed on their expertise to our people so our workforce and management could build on the initial achievements in the longer term.”

Andrew White, Managing Director at Aircelle

"Newton gave us the skills and information needed to take the sustained improvement and drive it on further. They took information from our labour and management systems and provided an easily accessible interface. This allowed us to make the right decisions at the right time without compromising performance."
"With a continuing increase in demand for tactical military bridges across the world, we are now in a position to take on more orders without affecting our productivity and the quality of our products."

Ian Wilson, Chief Executive at WFEL

“Through working with Newton we identified discrepancies between the optimal manning for maximum machine efficiencies and maximum labour efficiencies. The IT controls implemented then allowed us to increase the output per labour hour, and we have made improvements of around 20% across three of our production areas”.

Simon Staddon, Managing Director at Nicholas & Harris

"Combining individual operator development and mechanical changes with having the visibility of KPI's from the factory floor through to the boardroom, we have managed to make a significant step change in our performance, quality and customer service".

Simon Ball, Managing Director at Hazeldene

“With this new pulse line process, we will see significant benefits and cost savings. We have already eliminated 250 hours per month of lost time on the line and we foresee a 15-20% reduction in labour cost per vehicle. We are all really impressed by this system and the results it can deliver.” 

Roger Gillespie, Equipment Solutions Managing Director at Babcock

"I can say from everyone here that there is no doubt that we could not have got where we are today without your help. We have worked with consultants before and taken a long time to rarely achieve any measureable improvement, however you fit in with the team and got us all behind you right from day one and have allowed us to work together to achieve this result. We knew from within the first 10 minutes of meeting you that you knew what you were talking about. I am sure we will (and would like to) see you here again to help us with the next step forward."

Nigel Spencer, Managing Director at Portmeirion Group

“The programme we undertook with Newton has been invaluable and has significantly changed the way we operate our call handling. We now have clearer views of when our busiest times are likely to be allowing us to more acutely plan and react for different demand scenarios in a more efficient way – enabling us to offer the best possible service to the local users.”

Andrew Gardner, CEO at Harmoni

"We are realising significant savings from our partnership with Newton's expertise, and fulfilling our strategic objective of being ranked amongst the best performing Trusts in the country.”

David Loughton CBE, CEO at Royal Wolverhampton Hospitals NHS Trust

"As a result of our project with Newton's experienced healthcare team we have been able to make a significant difference to our WLI spend as well as improve the overall patient experience – a real victory for NWLH and one that has been recognised by the HSJ."

Kishamer Sidhu, Director of Finance at North West London Hospitals NHS Trust
