In particular, our lead lean trainer, Paul Wilson, has developed and delivered numerous lean manufacturing training courses and is now one of the UK’s most experienced and sought after lean trainers. His particular strengths lie in managing the change management process required for the successful implementation of lean as part of cultural change combined with intuitive man management skills.
