Engineering & Aerospace

We believe we are unrivalled in our knowledge, experience and capability of effectively applying operational excellence principles.

Within our heritage we were trail blazers for continuous improvement training and lean consultancy across many sectors. Whilst Directors of Forward Vision (see our evolution) our founder and key people were pivotal in leading the development of engagements across a number of blue-chip organisations.

Successful engagement continues in this sector for Deerness Consulting, notably building on the direct experience of our founder and key people in their backgrounds of successful leadership and support roles within Engineering and Aerospace organisations.
