Matthew visited our Business students to talk to them about his Business experience. He put a lot of care and effort into preparing and this is what their tutor had to say: "Matthew came into our virtual lesson and provided an in-depth talk on his marketing, such as with SWOT (to help prepare the students for their marketing campaign module) alongside an overview of his business, how he grew to being a business owner and his general operations. In addition, he came into my colleague's lesson to give a similar talk in person. Matthew's input will be incredibly valuable for both the students' coursework and their future professional work. Thanks, Matthew!"

I have worked with Matthew over the last year. He has helped with the development of production process in the business and is now project managing the implementation of the new ERP system. I cannot fault the work that Matthew has done for us and cannot recommend him highly enough. A first rate Business Analyst and Consultant.

I worked with Matthew at Parkside Flexible Packaging for several years from 2001 where he was responsible for the Logistics and Demand Planning activity for a large complex printing plant selling into demanding FMCG markets. His success at this underpinned the building of excellent service levels that took the company through a period of great change to become the success it is today. Since then I have followed his career with interest through commercial and supply chain success within blue chip environments to building his own company with Insight4business. Matthew will marry the best Lean tools with an understanding on how to develop the culture to get traction on any transformation program to make it sustainable.
