At Ultimat Defence, we believe the key to long-term success lies in our ability to overcome challenges with clarity, confidence, and collaboration. This week, members of our team took part in a Problem Solving Workshop hosted by GM Business Growth Hub a dynamic session designed to equip manufacturers with practical tools to identify root causes, resolve issues efficiently, and prevent them from recurring.
Turning Problems into Progress
Held at our head office, the workshop focused on structured problem-solving methodologies that support better decision-making at every level of the business. From identifying bottlenecks in production to addressing process inconsistencies, our team explored techniques that go beyond short-term fixes and instead deliver lasting improvements.
The training perfectly complemented our culture of continuous improvement—reinforcing the idea that challenges are opportunities for growth when approached with the right tools and mindset.
Real Tools for Real Situations
Throughout the session, our team engaged with real-world case studies and practical frameworks—such as root cause analysis, the 5 Whys, and Pareto principles—to dissect problems and uncover underlying issues. These tools are now being brought straight into our operations in Wigan and Bolton to help improve workflow, reduce downtime, and increase overall efficiency.
Feedback from the workshop was overwhelmingly positive, with participants describing it as “practical,” “transformative,” and “immediately useful.” It has empowered our teams to take ownership of problems and apply structured thinking to achieve tangible results.
Investing in Our People, Improving Our Processes
Workshops like this form a critical part of our strategy: strengthening the capabilities of our people while refining the systems that support our customers. Whether it’s through better production planning or enhanced product reliability, the skills gained in this workshop contribute directly to the quality of service we provide to frontline professionals.
As a proud Made in Britain manufacturer, Ultimat Defence remains committed to building a smarter, more responsive business. The Problem Solving Workshop is another step forward—bringing sharper thinking, stronger collaboration, and continuous improvement to the heart of everything we do.
