About RGS-Practical
Based in Stratford-upon-Avon, RGS-Practical was established to bridge the gap between high-level consultancy and shop-floor reality. With more than 30 years in manufacturing, mechanical engineering, and operations, we know how things work, why they fail, and how to fix them efficiently.
Not just consultants – we build the solution
Traditional consultancies deliver reports and leave the implementation to you. At RGS-Practical, we analyse your workflow, design the fix, and pick up the tools to execute it alongside your team.
"RGS-Practical solved a chronic manufacturing issue on our line within two weeks. Having someone who understands both management and mechanical realities made all the difference."
David Harrison
"Unlike other advisers, they got straight onto the shop floor, identified our bottlenecks, and helped our technicians implement immediate improvements."
Mark Taylor
"The breadth of 30 years of engineering leadership is evident from day one. Pragmatic, straightforward, and genuinely focused on small business success."
