Martyn King, Managing Director, Chasm
When you consider what it takes to run an effective factory and the conflicts between departments it becomes clear why it is so difficult to fix things in house and why “bringing in Chasm” makes so much sense.
Failure to hit numbers is too often assumed to be an operational issue but where a variance manifests itself, Chasm will bring in the analysis to prove and understand the reason. Chasm then build the plan and bring horsepower for rapid deployment to create momentum and buy in across the operation.
Why I always pick Chasm, by Finlay.
I first worked with Martyn as part of a factory turnaround in 2015. As part of that project we took a site from £3m loss to £5m benefit in a 9 month period.
What impressed me with Martyn is the ability to understand financial, strategic, operational & people elements, with a sixth sense for unpicking problems and putting them back together.
Add to this his ability to understand people, get into the weeds of daily factory life and deliver outstanding results all whilst operating ‘business as usual’.
Martyn is one of the first people I call on any new assignment, Chasm deliver consistently time after time.
Why Chasm are different to all the rest, by Kevin.
I have worked with many consultancies over my 30 year operational career from ‘top 4’ to small boutique operations and Chasm stand out above all others.
Their strategic and financial understanding, operational & people diagnostics, an almost scary ability to unpick an operation in finite detail and show you things you were not even aware of.
Then put that in a plan and deliver efficiently, financially and sustainably sets them apart.
Why I took a leap of faith, by Ruth.
I was advised to engage with Chasm after taking over struggling family business with a mixture of cash flow, operational and structural issues.
My first response, typically, was “we do not need consultants, we can do this ourselves”. After further persuasion I agreed a scoping session that quickly followed into a detailed analysis.
I cannot begin to explain the outputs of that process but the detail and understanding led us quickly to a project. Within 4 weeks I went from sceptic to sponsor and all my fears and thoughts of not needing help were wildly unfounded.
Don’t hesitate like I did, you will not look back.
