Testimonials

“I had the pleasure of working for Jon when he was Head of Airbus Business. He fostered an excellent team spirit between his direct reports and also with other key functions including Supply Chain, Engineering, and Program Management. His crisp presentational style and clarity of message ensured that the business objectives were understood at all levels within the organization. As a developing manager I found Jon to be very supportive and an excellent coach. Jon was the driving force behind the successful restructuring of the business to overcome a 300% increase in volume, a 60% increase in product variety, and a 20% reduction in cost with minimal capital spend. In addition, he introduced many progressive materials management initiatives including cut to size material delivered to point of use on a 24 hour call off. This greatly reduced the cash burden on the business and improved cycle time. Jon engendered good planning in his organization which allowed his business to meet its financial objectives and delivery commitments despite constant build rate fluctuation and mix changes.”
