About Us
Parkin Limited: Better by experience
Parkin Limited was founded by Kevin Parkin a highly experienced change manager with multi-disciplined academic qualifications in Engineering, Marketing, and Accountancy… supported by twenty-five years of manufacturing experience at board level.
Parkin Limited has a reputation for quality, integrity, and innovation resulting from many years of establishing enviable relationships with our clients which has been based upon trust and mutual respect.
Our collaborative, hands-on, and determined approach enables us to provide valuable strategic insights and direction to find the best solutions to even the most complex turnaround challenges.
Our DNA
What differentiates Parkin Ltd from other turnaround organisations is experience of real live turnaround situations not just interim assignments which are project based.
We believe that turnaround demands total immersion into an organisation with the authority to propose and make rapid but effective changes.
Having undertaken many successful turnarounds in the last twenty five years our Chairman, Kevin Parkin, is suitably qualified both academically and by experience to undertake assignments in all types and sizes of manufacturing companies.
Above all, we leave a management team with the capabilities of driving the business forward and avoiding returning to a crisis situation.
This is a achieved by motivational coaching of Board Members during the turnaround process and where, management are weak, their rapid substitution for more appropriate people.
“We are highly experienced hands-on Industrialists helping Manufacturing Companies achieve a sustainable turnaround”
