CHRIS COLLINS

Resilience & Mindset Coach + Manufacturing Operations Mentor

“After a 30+ year career working exclusively in the food industry, with 23 of them in Senior Operations roles, across all sectors, there aren’t many mistakes that I haven’t made but crucially learned from in the planning, development, implementation and review of Manufacturing Excellence Programmes. 

Whether you’re in a large Blue Chip or SME type business, as an ICF accredited coach, I want to help you understand why what you’ve done so far maybe hasn’t yet delivered the improvements you’re looking for, and what could be your next steps to get you there. 

Or if it is delivering what you want, how can you maintain it and go further, all without killing yourself and your teams in the process.”
