Find Out Where Your Time and Money Are Slipping Away

It’s the five emails for one order, the meeting that should’ve been five minutes, the report stuck waiting for approval or the looking for things you need but can never find. Tiny delays often pile into hours lost and momentum drained.

Once you can see the size and potential areas causing your problems, the next step is finding out where it’s really coming from and doing something quick about it - that’s where our Hive Health Check comes in

Step 1: calculate the cost • Step 2: find where it’s hiding • Step 3: find your support service

The efficiency calculator snapshot showed the cost. The audit surfaced where inefficiency may be hiding. The next step is turning that insight into a focused, practical plan.

“🐝 Continuous improvement isn’t just for manufacturing Yesterday, The Bee’s Academy ran a tailored Hive Method session for our team and it was packed with practical ideas we can put to work straight away. They didn’t just teach tools , they made them fit our world, our clients and our challenges. We left buzzing with ways to work smarter, free up time, and keep adding more value as we grow. Big thanks to the Bees for such an energising day!.”

“I’m happy to share that I’ve obtained a new certification: Six Sigma White Belt from Business Efficiency Experts (Bees)! Thank you James Walker 🐝 and Amy Alderdice 🐝, for delivering the Six Sigma course today, which I'd recommend as a great foundation and was a great refresher on areas I’ve previously worked in. I’d highly recommend this course to anyone looking to upskill and drive greater efficiency in their work. Thanks again for a valuable and engaging session! ”

“Having worked in discount retail for over a decade, I’ve seen firsthand how rare it is to come across individuals who can spot productivity potential in every corner of a business, not just in the obvious places, but in the small, often overlooked areas that can make all the difference. That’s exactly what sets Amy and James at Bees apart.”

We work with organisations of all shapes and sizes
From ambitious small businesses to complex, high-growth companies.

If you have people, processes and customers, you have opportunities to save time, reduce waste, and make things run better. >>
Other Approaches are available vs Business Efficiency Experts
But other consultancies often come with 200-page frameworks and standardised models.

They’re clever, but they’re not always built from real life, sleeves rolled-up experience and they can struggle to adapt to how your business really works >>
Other trainers will, without a doubt, give you the knowledge
But more often than not, you’re left with theory, slides and worksheets, trying to figure out how to apply it on your own.
Quick-fix solutions or methods can deliver results
But too often they focus on cutting costs or people, not on fixing the everyday inefficiencies that caused the problem in the first place.
With Bees, you get practical, sleeves rolled up problem solving
Forget endless reports and buzzwords. With Bees you can get quick wins you can actually see and a flexible, bespoke approach that works for your business – not just in theory, but in real life.
