The Feedback We Get

  • Andy Bate

    Area Director, Tarmac

    "Sean has provided guidance and support throughout the majority of our Optimise journey. He is a highly capable leader who is justifiably confident in the approaches he recommends. I have been extremely happy with the results we have seen through the Brilliant Basics programme."

  • Iain Blackaller

    Area Operations Manager, Tarmac
    Tarmac
    "We had experienced various approaches to optimise before with mixed results however, a lot of the time the methods we were following lacked meaning for the teams operating in the plant. Brilliant Basics solved that problem by translating effective practices into 'good habits' that when done well every day made a significant difference to the operational scorecard."

  • Jeremy Hooper

    Customer Services Manager, Tarmac

    "One of the many benefits you get when working with Sean is a sense of certainty around anticipated outcomes. He's been a safe pair of hands in our business and has helped us overcome some significant challenges along the way."
