January 2010 - S A Partners launches Ireland business
S A Partners has announced a new business in Ireland (S A Partners Lean Consultancy Ltd). We have been working for some time with Irish businesses including C&C Group – producers of Magners cider – which appointed S A Partners to help it not only to implement Lean principles, but also to develop a skilled internal resource that could sustain and build on the improvements made.
C&C’s IT & Continuous Improvement Director, Shane Hughes commented: “S A Partners has provided leadership and technical skills that have helped us to embrace and sustain a Lean approach to doing business. We work with them as strategic partners, not consultants, and this subtle difference is the key value they add to an organisation.”
Director of S A Partners Ireland, Chris Butterworth commented: “We have a distinctive offering that goes beyond our consulting expertise. S A Partners has access to the latest academic research on Lean and offers learning programmes that enable our clients to take ownership of their continuous improvement going forward. We hope that by establishing a local Irish business we can develop close relationships with our Irish clients.”
