Fast, Practical Supply Chain and Operations Results
Finding undiscovered opportunities in any business – from one hour of advice to a year of hands-on support.
Fred Britton: Hands-On Experience Building World-Class Operations
Pockets of Space exists to uncover the hidden value in your business – in processes, equipment, people, systems and tools – and make it visible, actionable and quick to return value.
I’m Fred Britton. I have designed and built large food and chemical facilities around the world, helped SME’s deliver significant business returns through process/system/efficiency integrations, and led diverse teams inside world-leading supply chains. That hands-on experience translates into practical value for businesses of every size, from start-ups to multinationals.
I work differently from the high-cost consultancies: you deal directly with senior experience, support flexes from one hour to one year, and every recommendation is weighed through a financial lens – what it costs, what it returns, and how soon. Where deeper expertise helps, I bring trusted specialist collaborators into the business for exactly as long as they add value.
The result: actionable, measurable improvements, embedded into daily routines through good change management – so they keep delivering long after the engagement ends.
Support That Fits Your Business
Don’t assume that your people have the time to look at the business with a different view point.
They are up-to-their-eye-balls in keeping the day-to-day operations running!
