Hands-on Change

Steve Swayne and the Kingsgate team are exceptional. They have supported my organisation in delivering a large and complex cost reduction programme of £70 million. I would recommend, without hesitation, their unique blend of private and public sector implementation skills to any public sector organisation that faces difficult decisions and the requirement to reduce costs.

We asked Steve Swayne and the Kingsgate team to support us to improve our in-year CIP delivery. I have been very impressed with their approach which is both rigorous and delivered at pace. They quickly gained the confidence of the executive team and helped us materially improve our in-year CIP delivery. I would not hesitate to recommend Kingsgate to other Trusts to support rapid improvement to CIP deliver.

Kingsgate were able to bring some order and process into the Trust at a time when the organisation seemed unable to control its finances.  They worked with the divisional management teams and budget holders in areas where there was little or no understanding of how to exercise financial control and showed them how to manage rosters and stay within budget. They also gave direction and support to the Trust PMO and challenge to the Divisions for CIP delivery and identification. We appreciated their attention to detail and the tenacity with which they held managers to account.
