Paul Elcoat
With a degree in Education and masters level qualifications in Operational Management and Business Administration, Paul can very quickly identify opportunities for improvement.

The founder of P. W. Elcoat & Associates Ltd, Paul is a skilled manager and company director with experience in the educational, service provision, manufacturing and retail sectors. He has a particular interest in the strategic relationship between business functions and how all disciplines underpin and enhance the sales process. He has been involved in many business / company rationalisation programmes and has a record of being able to ‘see the path’ in a company which has found itself in a rut.

“An objective analysis of operational procedures, supporting functions and the risks and liabilities involved in the undertakings of a company will highlight areas of inefficiency and opportunities for improvement. The net result is reduced operational cost, greater client confidence, better quality business and so increased sales and greater profit margins.”

 

Ray Hobby
Ray seriously believes that we don’t give enough constructive thought to ‘our lot’, but ‘serious’ does not have to mean ‘heavy’ or ‘depressive’. His over-riding intention is to encourage his clients to think, but to have fun as well. Now heading toward retirement Ray can look back on a very successful career in engineering, education and management consultancy. If he had to indicate just one asset of the effective organisation it would be that those who find fun at work really do become a truly effective workforce.
