Company Profile

Peter Davys, a well known and respected figure in the manufacturing and chemical industries, can confidently say that he has been there, done that and bought the t-shirt in his 30 years in industry.  His wide range of experience has opened his eyes to the opportunities that still exist for industry if more effort is levelled at the delivery end of the projects.  And he understands the pitfalls too!

" I established Orrest in 2004 in an effort to address forthcoming industry requirements and issues which I felt to be lacking in quality investment (not least in time) and to fundamentally make manufacturing more sustainable.  From my experience, many companies and industry bodies were failing to address and develop solutions that would equip the industry to survive and prosper in the increasingly global community."

"As employee numbers reduce during economic cycles and technology developments, here at Orrest we are acutely aware of the additional pressures and responsibilities being placed on individuals who are being asked to perform roles they have no experience of or qualifications to perform."

"Ask yourself this...would Alex Ferguson ask Wayne Rooney to play in goal? Of course not! So why does industry ask employees to perform roles they are not suited to?"

And that's where Orrest can be beneficial - acting as interim support for business developments, project management and manufacturing solution support, utilising experienced associates and proven suppliers.
