One relationship.
The whole supply chain.
Each company designs and delivers in its own area. Together they cover a supply chain from the first diagnosis to recovering value at the end of a product’s life, and you only need one conversation to start.
Five companies. One chain.
What each company does, and what it hands on to the next, with a delivery team shared across the group.
Diagnoses the problem, builds the business case and designs the future model.
Hands a costed plan to the company best placed to deliver it, with the delivery team leading when the change spans several.
Puts new planning and supplier arrangements in place, then runs procurement, inventory and working capital.
Passes surplus and obsolete stock to Second Tide for recovery.
Improves warehouses and manages freight, warehousing and fulfilment partners as one.
Routes returns and end-of-life goods to Second Tide.
Puts sustainable designs into production and recovers value from returns, surplus and waste.
Reports cash recovered and waste avoided back into the plan.
Builds and rolls out the data, systems and AI tools behind all of it, with the governance and training to use AI safely.
Supplies the technology that each company, and each client, runs on.
One client. The whole group.
An illustration: a mid-sized manufacturer with too much inventory, unreliable forecasts, expensive freight and growing pressure to reduce emissions.
One team to see it through.
Every company delivers its own work. When change spans several of them, or you need an experienced leader on the ground, the group’s delivery team leads it, with fees tied to milestones.
Senior practitioners who have run operations themselves, working alongside your people until the change is stable.
Programme leadership
Experienced programme leads who keep complex, multi-company change on track: scope, milestones, risks and benefits.
Interim operations leaders
A senior operator to lead change from inside the business, for as long as it takes.
Site and factory changes
Layouts, flows and new ways of working on the factory floor, delivered with your teams.
Benefits tracking
One plan and one set of numbers, so every company’s results show up in yours.
Joined up, not bundled.
You never have to buy the whole group. Use one company, or several; the choice is always yours.
One client relationship
Start with one company; draw on the rest through the same relationship.
Shared standards
Common quality, reporting and governance across every company.
Clear accountability
Each company runs its own P&L and answers for its own results.
Objective advice
Recommendations made on merit, whoever delivers.
Start anywhere.
