Operational Efficiency for UK SMEs

Where Is Your Business Leaking Money?

£35,000–£65,000.

That's what the average UK SME loses every year to operational waste they can't see.

It's not on your P&L. It's not in your bank balance. It's in the gap between how your business runs and how it could run.

It's in the quotes that don't get followed up. The staff hours that don't get used. The supplier invoices nobody questioned. The customers who left and never said why.

We find it. We quantify it. We show you exactly where it is.

Then you decide what to do about it.

Who does the work

Carl Trigg

Founder, Flow Efficiency

I've spent nearly twenty years finding and fixing operational waste — from defence to automotive, manufacturing to storage, and education to the nuclear sector. The methods that save big companies millions rarely reach smaller businesses, and that's what I'm here to change.

Every assessment is delivered personally, which means every client gets the same standard of analysis. It also means I take on a limited number of engagements each month. If you're thinking about it, the right time to start is now.

We work across 20 sectors — including yours.

Each industry page shows the specific waste areas most commonly found in that sector — and what they typically cost a business like yours every year.

Speak to Someone

No pitch. No pressure. Just an honest conversation about your business.

Most owners who contact us have never had an independent view of their operation. That's not unusual — and it's exactly what we're here for.
