Who we are:
Hawley Associates are a specialist, UK based consultancy with 40 years of experience in meat and poultry processing. Our lead consultant, J. Richard Hawley has helped meat and poultry processors in more than 80 countries improve their performance by cost-effectively reducing manpower, increasing yield and productivity, as well as reducing waste and utility costs.
We are a fully independent consultancy based in West Yorkshire, England. Importantly, fully independent means we are only interested in helping you, and not selling you equipment. We have our own in-house C.A.D drawing office allowing us to quickly develop drawings and plans to show how we propose implementing change.
We are not consultants that sit in your friendly, warm office all day interviewing senior managers. We are entirely the opposite. We are hands-on, studying everything that is happening on your factory floor and your waste and bi-product collection areas. Only by immersing ourselves in your production environment can we fully understand what you are doing well, and more importantly, where and how we can help you improve.
To quote Richard Hawley, “We have never been invited into a meat or food processing business and not found cost-effective ways to improve its performance”.
