“Nutriquick recently availed of the services of WD Excellence to support the growth plans for the business. Following a detailed analysis of the business Darren identified many actionable improvement opportunities that would improve our capacity by 55%.
Darren was a pleasure to work with, felt like an extension to our leadership team, and supported us through the improvement process. We look forward to partnering with WD Excellence in our journey toward Operational Excellence.”
Dean Siney
Darren’s talent lies in his ability to motivate and influence change at all levels of an organisation. During a rapid start up period in MSD Biotech he led the design and introduction of an Operational Excellence System and development program. Darren’s passion inspired over 170 improvement projects from over 150 employees. These projects helped build lean principles into our processes from start up. Darren has personally coached and mentored over 60 employees on site to help drive high performance. I would recommend Darren to any company striving to become a high performance organisation.
Mick Flanagan, AVP Site Lead
Darren has a skill for making the complex appear simple but yet does not over simplify. Darren is a pleasure to work with and always delivers to a high standard and guided us through all steps of the Lean start program.
He is hands on, seeks to understand the end-to-end process in detail, identify organisational needs, and then bring innovative workable improvements to the table.
He will challenge your thinking, provide you with alternative perspectives and, where appropriate, actively coach/mentor/advise you to generate and co-create solutions. He is an excellent facilitator with the ability to engage and motivate the entire team.

Testimonials
Darren's skill has always been in his ability to mix his knowledge of Lean and Six Sigma with his communication skills and personable character. A pleasure to work with at all times with great results and learnings guaranteed.
Ciaran O'Rourke, Head of Operations
I started coaching and mentorship with Darren after experiencing a set back in work. At the time I felt directionless and lacked confidence. I had ambition but was afraid to admit it and didn’t know how to put it to use, and public speaking was something I avoided at all costs. Through my coaching sessions with Darren he guided me to recognize my strengths, to play to them and helped instil the self belief I needed, to move forward and obtain the promotion I so badly wanted. I went from crumpling at the prospect of speaking in front of my own team, to facilitating workshops to a room full of strangers. Darren has a rare gift and talent for building people up and I can not recommend his services enough.

“I started coaching with Paula to improve my communication and leadership skills. Paula helped me to quickly identify opportunities for working on these skills, and set achievable goals to improve them. I found the accountability of the coaching sessions really helped me in reflecting and improving on my work and communication styles.
Paula is a wonderfully warm and engaging coach and I felt very comfortable during the sessions. Overall this coaching has given me the confidence to identify areas for improvement and set goals for my own development, which is something I would not have prioritised in the past. I highly recommend for anybody who is looking to bring their performance to the next level – Thanks Paula!”
