Case Studies

The innovation services that are preferentially delivered via HOVIP are proven and have helped organisations achieve real financial, process and people benefits, for example:

• Abergavenny Fine Foods – saving £4,000 p.a. as a result of a lunch-time session to solve a long standing production problem
• Admiral Group – "Very much enjoyed the day and gained a lot more than expected. You tend to be a bit sceptical of training days and what more you can learn but this was very worthwhile. Would highly recommend" (N.Joyce, Motivational Manager)
• Beacons Products – trebled the monthly sales of one product to £16,000
