About

Paula

It’s long been my mission to improve the quality of life of business owners and their employees, even back working as an engineer in the corporates I enjoyed the impact I could have on creating better work environments with less stress for everyone. I did this through Lean Methodologies and my passion for Continuous Improvement and Respect for People.

Why I do what I do

Since working with small businesses I get great job satisfaction in being able to move them from chaos to calm, from busy to productive, from loss making to profit, from frustrated to fulfilled. Giving the stressed-out business owner their life back, the time to spend with their children as they are growing up, not to feel the guilt for missing yet another football match or school play, is so rewarding and its truly why I love to do what I do.

HERE’S WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING.

Brilliance & dedication
We got an awful lot out of working with Paula. It’s unbelievable when I look back and remember how the business used to be before, we are so much more data driven and time aware which enables us to be safe in the knowledge that each project is profitable

More work without stress
Working with Paula has transformed our company, we have reduced time in every aspect of our business, it is the only way if you want to expand….I can’t thank Paula enough for her determination, her brilliance in her field and her dedication to what she does.

The results don’t lie
It can be hard for a business owner to take advice on a business they started and grew, however the results don’t lie and Paula’s work ethic and attention to detail culminated in me saving one day a week on production, which meant I could concentrate on business development
