I have worked with Mitchell in the past and I can say he is one of the most passionate and determined individuals I have ever had the pleasure to meet. His approach is certainly straight forward, he concentrates on the goal and has a great ability to share his knowledge through the improvement process. He understands the importance of Plan Do Check Act without all the fluff.

Mitchell has worked successfully for me in shifting entrenched thinking and custom and practise at Ultra. He quickly gets to the root of the problem. He succeeds in the face of great resistance to change. He gets results in the most tense team situations. He satisfies the most demanding of employers. He gets change and improvement where it’s always been done the same way.

I just wanted to give you an update on the success of the implementation of the new system. We had a record year and I would like to think that the new measures taken played a significant role in achieving this.
I wanted to say a huge ‘thank you’ for all your efforts in assisting with the setting up and implementation of all the new processes we have introduced. It was definitely worth the initial ‘head ache’ it caused!
There are still areas for improvement and we will be targeting these next year but on the whole the difference it has made has been phenomenal.
