Stonefort Consultants is led by Wayne Houchin, FCILT — a highly experienced UK and Northern Ireland operations consultant and Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport. This distinction is awarded to senior leaders who deliver proven operational transformation and supply chain excellence.

With over 30 years’ experience improving operations for SMEs and mid-sized businesses across the UK and Northern Ireland, Wayne has worked in some of the most demanding industries: Aerospace, Defence, Motorsport, Petro-Chem, Software, Food & Ingredients, Engineering and Contract Manufacturing. These sectors require absolute precision, strong process control, compliance, and repeatable performance — foundations that now shape the Stonefort approach.

Wayne has scaled businesses from £7M to £30M+, delivered major ERP rollouts, reduced inventory by millions, strengthened procurement and supplier governance, and increased warehouse efficiency by 35%, all without compromising service or quality.

Stonefort provides flexible, high-impact operations director support for SMEs — ideal for businesses that need expertise but not a full-time hire. Whether you’re growing fast, fixing bottlenecks, or building structure for the next stage, Stonefort helps you improve processes, reduce waste, strengthen supply chains, and scale with confidence.

Based in Northern Ireland and supporting clients across the UK, Stonefort brings clarity, control and sustainable growth to owner-led businesses.
