Plymouth/Winnersh UK Declining and too much churn

Value stream leader

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible working Good leadership in US

Cons

Poor leadership in UK particularly in Plymouth and Winnersh sites, especially in Value Stream Leadership (programme management) and Engineering. Declining sales due to very poor Business Development team - non existent long term strategy or goals. Both sites, mainly Plymouth have lost key engineers and have been caught out by the competition and have no mitigation plan to maintain programme execution.
