At Ultimat Defence, continuous improvement is a core part of who we are. This week, members of our team took part in the Lean Champion Workshop with GM Business Growth Hub—a course designed to equip manufacturers with the tools and mindset to enhance quality, streamline processes, and reduce waste across all areas of production.
Learning to Lead with Lean
Hosted at our head office, the workshop focused on the practical principles of lean methodology—empowering attendees to identify inefficiencies, drive sustainable improvements, and foster a culture of problem-solving and accountability. The training aligned perfectly with our own ethos of delivering high-performance products while maintaining operational excellence.
From optimising workflows to adopting smarter planning techniques, the course provided powerful insight into how manufacturers like us can maximise value without compromise.
Tangible Tools for Real-World Results
The hands-on training explored real examples and techniques that can immediately be applied within our production environments in Wigan and Bolton. By equipping our team with these tools, we’re investing in smarter systems that not only improve efficiency—but also directly benefit our customers with faster lead times, enhanced product consistency, and greater responsiveness to demand.
Several of our attendees described the course as “invaluable”, “eye-opening”, and “instantly applicable”—highlighting how effective lean thinking can be when embedded into everyday processes.
Empowering Our People, Elevating Our Performance
Workshops like this aren’t just about new knowledge—they’re about fostering a mindset of continuous improvement across the business. As Ultimat Defence continues to grow and innovate, investing in our people remains central to our success. The Lean Champion Workshop is another step in our commitment to building a more efficient, agile, and resilient organisation.
