MANUFACTURERS’ organisation EEF has appointed specialist manufacturing consultant Linda Harrison to head its new manufacturing growth unit covering Yorkshire.
The new unit aims to help manufacturing companies in Yorkshire to grow by improving their efficiency and effectiveness.
The service is focused on those manufacturers that cannot gain Manufacturing Advisory Service funding due to their size or connections with a larger group – although the team will also deliver MAS-funded offerings.
Ms Harrison joins EEF’s business services team and will advise member and non-member companies to help them improve productivity, quality and delivery in a wide range of manufacturing sectors.
She has 20 years’ experience in leadership and production and operations management. Ms Harrison was also previously a part-time lecturer in production and operations management at the University of Teesside.
Andrew Tuscher, EEF regional director for the North East, said: “I am delighted to have such a skilled lean practitioner and trainer as Linda in our office. Every manufacturing company can be more efficient in some way and Linda can certainly help EEF members and non-members on their continuous improvement journey.”
