“John (Nichols) is a dedicated, energetic and highly capable leader. He is always looking for ways to improve and has been an asset to BNL during a time of considerable and rapid growth. John's knowledge of Supply Chain Management, Product Lifecycle Management and Kaizen is considerable but it's his deep understanding of Organizational Behaviour that really sets him apart from other executives.
His model for profiling organizations (EM2) is the best I've seen. My experience working with John has been tremendously positive and I would highly recommend him.”
Andrew Richards Key Account Manager , BNL (USA) Inc.

“We have used John Nichols services as a consultant for the past 4 years to carry out our Employee Motivation and Empowerment Measure (EM2) Survey. The use of this Organisational Profile Model has been very well received by our external Quality Auditor for TS16949 and this has also helped us improve motivation within the workplace. John has provided an excellent and efficient service when carrying out the survey and analysing the results.
We will continue to work with John (Clyde House Business Development) in the future.”
