We have contacts with many key suppliers, traders, and brokers to help you in sourcing spirit, casks, and production or logistics services to meet your specific requirements.
We can take projects from concept to delivery, whether these are installation of a single piece of equipment, or the development of a whole new facility. Including managing contractors, critical paths, risk registers, and RAID Logs, ensuring that projects are delivered on time and within budget.
We can analyse production performance and identify opportunities for improvement. Implement performance management tools and continuous improvement best practice techniques. We focus on Leading and Managing Change, Teamwork, 5S, Visual Management, and Focussed Improvement, which will lead to improved operational efficiency and cost structure management.
We provide a cask inventory valuation service for a number of the asset valuation companies and banks. We can also directly offer companies and individuals an assessment of the brokerage value of their cask stocks or even individual parcels of casks. In doing this we use our years of experience in Whisky procurement and trading for major whisky companies to provide valuations based on brokerage value and bulk trade value.
We can lead the embedding of Operating Standards across your manufacturing units for Health, Safety, Environment, and Quality, to ensure compliance and achieve external accreditation and meet the requirements of the COMAH regulations, HSE, SEPA and HMRC legislative requirements, and enabling accreditation in ISO 9002, 14001, and OSHAS 18001.
We can help you transform and redesign your organisation structure, and are adept at moving businesses from Departmental silo structures, to be horizontally integrated and aligned, while managing the communications and people transition processes. We have significant experience in expediting the integration of operating units following Company takeovers and mergers.
