Engineering team reviewing project plans on a manufacturing shop floor

I help engineering and manufacturing teams deliver with more confidence and less chaos

I'm Tony Howell. I work alongside capable teams to improve how projects are planned, managed and delivered — with practical support, not corporate theory.

Where I come from

What does 15 years of project delivery actually teach you?

That's the question I get asked most after nearly two decades in project delivery — 13 years in the army, followed by defence, aerospace, and manufacturing roles across the UK. The short answer? You learn that plans only survive until the first contact with reality. After that, it's about discipline, adaptability, and trusting the people closest to the work. I'm Tony Howell, a Chartered Project Professional, and I built Sitrep Consulting to bring that hard-won delivery discipline to engineering and manufacturing businesses that need real, lasting improvements — not just a consultant's report.

HOW I WORK

Practical support, not just another report

I don't believe in delivering 50-page documents and walking away. I work alongside your team to implement the improvements we agree on — and I stay involved until those changes become part of how you work every day.

What you can expect when we work together

I bring the same discipline and practical approach I developed over two decades of project delivery — adapted to fit your business, your team and your goals.

I listen before I recommend

I begin by listening. The people doing the work usually know where the problems are. I make sure their insight shapes every recommendation.

Tailored to your business

No generic frameworks or off-the-shelf solutions. I develop an approach that fits your organisation, your people and your practical reality.

Hands-on implementation

I don't just identify what needs to change — I work alongside your team to make it happen and stay involved until the improvements hold.

Measurable results

We agree clear, measurable outcomes at the start so you can see whether the changes are actually working. No vanity metrics, just what matters to your business.
