Who are we?

Accelerate Ltd was established in August 2003 to develop and deliver practical, project-based solutions to companies of any size and sector who want to improve the way that they work and do business.

We are not a traditional consultancy organisation - our approach is always to achieve results by working with the people who form a daily part of the organisation’s activities.

This means understanding and working with three key factors:

  1. Senior Management –agreeing where the business needs to go and prioritising what needs to be done.
  2. The behaviours that drive the way that people choose to work or feel they have to work.
  3. Developing individual / team understanding and confidence in applying management approaches and Lean tools and techniques that deliver real & measurable improvements to both the process and morale.

To date Accelerate Ltd has worked with over 350 companies from manufacturing, service and social enterprise sectors to help them deliver nearly £30m worth of benefits within their organisations. This is achieved through the use of lean practice and many other productivity improvement techniques.

Accelerate Ltd is linked with the Patterson & Rothwell group of companies based in Oldham, Greater Manchester. P&R are now benefiting from the successes of Lean implementation that began in 2000. Since 2003 the Accelerate team have assisted P&R to develop Cell Leaders, implement Value Stream Mapping, implement Kaizen events, and implement reductions to machine set-ups and changeovers.
