FEI Foods Ltd, part of the Marbour Group, is a market-leading FMCG company specialising in own-brand microwaveable rice and grain products. As the UK's leading private-label supplier, FEI Foods serves major retailers.
The Challenge

- Process Inefficiencies & Skills Gaps - Non-standardised processes and staff skill shortages
- Low productivity and operational bottlenecks
Our Approach
Implemented technology, planning integration, process redesign, and workforce development to transform operations.
Technology & Planning Integration - Structured planning cycles and tools (daily, weekly, monthly)
