Circular Advantage: Innovation and Value Management
Moving from the linear economy to the circular economy will be a challenge for many organisations. The generally accepted business model has been one of ‘take, make, dispose’ and is the premise of nearly all manufacturing strategies for the last hundred years.
Supported by the ever-present stakeholder pressure for market growth, our answer has always been to seek opportunities where we grow simply by turning the handle of the linear model ever faster.
We can do better. We have to do better.
Our approach to Circular Advantage harnesses innovation, value management, and sustainability management, to ensure that we are designing products that add the most value across their lifetime, that can be reused or recycled, and which embrace cradle to cradle thinking.
The combination of these three powerful and complimentary approaches ensures that our extended demand chain is optimising the function/cost balance, using materials that are sustainable, energy that is renewable, and manufacturing processes that are energy efficient and low waste.

It’s the future.
On joining the business it became clear that a new long term strategy was required to steer the business through a turbulent political and economic environment.
We worked with Davie on developing a strategy that both pointed the business on a route that navigated those challenges but also addressed the wider initiatives of our owning group.
We recognised the need for solid building blocks in areas to improve but with a vision flexible enough to take us through a changing environment.
I’m really pleased to say that our business plan is now routed firmly in c2c and supported by our stakeholders as a step change in the operation of the business.
Davies manner is warm and personable, using his vast corporate experience to draw parallels and help focus the planning sessions.
