Front Line Services

Performance management, process and organisation are critical. We carry out reviews to identify opportunities for improvement, and then work with you to change the way you do things, drive cultural change, improve accountability and implement performance improvement programmes including resetting and managing customer expectations.

What do we mean by?

Occupational Therapy Services

We assess your service in terms of customer satisfaction and value for money. Delivering the right levels of service to your customers with limited resources requires innovative ways of working in order to keep waiting lists at a minimum and manage your valuable community equipment in circulation. We assess your working model and transform it to provide more with the same resources.

Fleet

We can evaluate your fleet requirements in terms of size and profile. We can identify opportunity to rationalise and how service redesign can allow this to happen. We often assess vehicle renewal plans in terms of timing, sourcing options and to meet Environmental aspirations. We also assess and lead change in fleet maintenance strategy and performance of the workshop.

Green space, parks and environment

Our work includes all aspects of grounds, parks and street-scape management, maintenance regimes, income opportunities, development of partnerships, performance improvements, scheduling and organisation in this wide ranging service area.

Waste services & Street services

Our people are skilled operators in all areas of waste collection including re-cycling, green and trade waste and understand the challenges of implementing new protocols. You may also need support establishing effective disposal arrangements or street cleaning routines.

Bereavement

We can support you to make improvements to your cemeteries and crematoria operations and make the best use of the assets at your disposal. Typically this may be from improving your commercial approach or assisting you to seek private investment and support.

Housing Maintenance

We make improvements to front-line maintenance operations through better productivity, purchasing and process. We can also support you in developing your maintenance strategy and assessing the best operating model to meet your requirements.

What do we do?
