About Factory Mentor

Factory Mentor was created to provide practical support to manufacturing businesses based on real-world factory experience.

We understand the pressures manufacturers face every day — production targets, labour, waste, quality, food safety, compliance, efficiency and keeping people performing at their best.

Our approach is simple: understand the operation, identify what isn’t working, find out why, and help put practical improvements in place.

Real experience working within manufacturing environments, not just theory.

Experience across areas including BRCGS, SALSA, ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018.

Practical application of Lean, 5S and Six Sigma principles

Supporting managers, supervisors and teams to improve performance and develop their capabilities.

Our professional development combines recognised training with real-world manufacturing experience. With IOSH and ILM Level 3 qualifications, alongside knowledge of Lean, 5S and Six Sigma, we bring practical tools and proven approaches to the factory floor.

Every factory has different challenges. If you have a problem you’d like to discuss, we’d be happy to have a conversation.
