Paul Hetherington MBA DipM started PHCT in 1988 with the explicit intention of keeping the consultancy small to ensure the delivery of a high quality personal service. That is still true today with Paul still managing all consignments himself.

The result of this approach can be spectacular with a doubling of turnover increasing net profit by as much as 10 times or more. The approach is also invaluable for turnaround situations with losses being converted into healthy profits.o look at maximising your return on tools such as Appraisal systems, financial control, and Sales, Inventory & Operations Planning.
