Some
Quotes from Clients on Cameron’s Profit Improvement
work
Derek MacAlpine, Business General Manager, BP Chemicals
“ Cameron’s powerful Cogent studies enabled us to
add many £millions to the profits of our businesses.”
John
Robinson, former Director, BP Chemicals (now CEO, ChemConnect)
“ In study after study Cameron has consistently delivered
profit improvements of millions of dollars per annum.”
Bank
of Scotland, Corporate Banking
“ Esk provides a tangible case study where, following a
COGENT review, significant improvements in sales volume, gross
margins and EBT have been delivered … Esk does illustrate
that in appropriate circumstances the COGENT methodology can
be applied to effect a substantial profit improvement.”
Bernhard
Lipinski, Managing Director, BP Plastek, Germany
“ George – your predictions became true (except for
the rebate granted by HQ) and with the excellent help of Chris
we did cut waste significantly. An unforgettable year and all
credits to you!”
Derek Warner, Managing Director, International
Speciality Chemicals
“ I was happy to have Cogent imposed on our business. [Normally]
Marketing goes its own way and is not really responsible for
the consequences on the cost structure. Cogent imposes an external
view and ensures everyone pays attention to it. Prior to Cogent,
getting the business managers to review their portfolio and remove
loss-making lines was impossible. Cogent forced this through
and we took out the loss-making lines. We have had major dividends.”
Rod
Wilson, European Manager, BP Chemicals
“ The benefits of the Cogent study have been enormous.
In a recession the business has moved from break-even to $6m
profit and we expect $9m next year.”
Paul Williams, General
Manager (Foods), Littlewoods Stores
“ We are very pleased with the results. The experiment
in the six pilot stores is proving highly successful. All six
stores have, as a minimum, held their sales performances and
some have actually increased. Shrinkage, which was a major cost,
has virtually disappeared and wages are down. Profitability is
strikingly better. We will roll the system out to all of our
stores in the next eight weeks.”
Andy Leonard, Site Director,
Engineering, BP Chemicals Hull
“ The Site Leadership Team were very impressed by the standard
of the work presented to them. … it was clear that there
is a lot of enthusiasm to move ahead. The size of the prize appears
to be even larger than we thought, and the potential impact in
terms of the Site's performance, reputation and learning … could
be enormous.”
Ian Pannett, Senior Engineer, BP Chemicals
Hull
“ This is the culmination of all the excellent work that
the Teams have put in over the last 9 months … The whole
(Manufacturing Excellence) conclusions were presented last week
to [Group Director]. I was absolutely taken aback by the enthusiasm
and interest shown.”
