What do you require from a consultant?

Comprehensive experience at the highest levels, a proven track record and in depth commercial knowledge coupled with practical and technical knowledge - and of course better discernible results!

S4S delivers all this and more. Our consultants have over 30 years experience delivering self financing outsourcing solutions to engineering and manufacturing companies across the UK. They also have over twenty years of experience in China and India successfully assisting European and American companies to establish Joint ventures with overseas clients.

It is important that a outsourcing consultancy process has the ability to deliver solid results with positive effects on all aspects of a company including profit improvement. This is central to the S4S outsourcing consultancy process and has resulted in significant improvements for our clients, including a £120,000 saving in year one for an SME valve manufacture with a £2m turnover, more details can be seen on the case study pages of this website. These significant savings came about through a simple three day consultancy review.
