Strategy, People and Processes
in perfect alignment
About Proxigean
We operate our business on these core fundamentals:
- We strongly believe in being independent and are proud of our ethical approach to integrity and impartiality. High standards underpin everything we do.
- We recognize the benefit of growing the employee. They are after all our biggest asset. Whether in our organisation, the client’s organisation or in a youth organisation we strive to help people achieve more.
- We believe in keeping things simple and effective.
The name Proxigean comes from the description of a proxigean spring tide which occurs when the lunar and solar tidal bulges coincide (spring tide) and the moon is closest to the earth. This phenomenon usually happens about once every 12 -18 months and produces tides that change rapidly. This rapid transition can cause extremes of weather.
The next 3 Proxigean Tides will be occuring on 16th October 2020, 4th December 2021 and 21st January 2023
Services
Strategy Planning
We are well placed to assist in the development of a strategy that will align with the aims of your shareholders and employees, the wider industry and the needs of your customers. The strategy plan could be used for further investment, as part of a wider exit strategy or to ensure all stakeholders have a clear understanding of the business direction.
Business Transformation
Key to implementing a successful business vision is having an organisation that can adapt, respond and grow in the rapidly changing environment. Whilst processes need to be lean they also need to cope with the unexpected. Staff, customers and suppliers need an environment that is both nurturing and ethical. Our experience of designing and implementing change management both in the UK and overseas will give your business the right structure to flourish.
Operations
We have experience of significantly improving operations and the supply chain ranging from small production runs to large critical projects covering a wide variety of technologies. Our approach covers all areas including purchasing, stock holding, capturing company intellectual property, improving quality and processes improvement (lean). In addition, we have considerable experience of working within regulated quality and safety environments.
Innovation
From introducing new products to managing the obsolescence of existing product ranges, we can assist with a wide variety of items including: process design; selection of the right technology; innovation grants or even outsourcing critical processes. We also have experience structuring intellectual property agreements between companies to ensure they are workable both now and in the future.
Sales & Marketing Support
We can support you in preparing large and complex tenders, negotiating Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and Joint Ventures (JV). From a marketing perspective we can advise on targets, distribution channels and media channels.
Interim Management
Often a business will need a safe pair of hands to help overcome peak demands or a change in personnel. Our interim management solutions can assist you with a reliable solution.
Learning and Development
Developing staff and setting a common language across the business is vital to the success of the business. We can assist with a number of tailored courses ranging from directors’ responsibilities, presentation skills, negotiation, finance, GDPR, leadership and team building to name a few. We can consolidate the training with coaching and mentoring to ensure that implementation is successful.

When requested we can provide a comprehensive service conducting internal company audits covering both H&S and quality.
