2012
The first site review
We began in London with a small industrial audit for a manufacturer that had more stock movement than output. The fix was simple. Stop the churn, map the handoffs, and track the loss.
Established in 2012
The Red Raven Assets keeps waste down.
We started with engineers who wanted cleaner numbers and less idle kit. The work is direct. Better use of people, stock, machines, and time.
Our mission is simple: "Doing more with less, without cutting corners." We work with teams that need hard evidence, quick fixes, and plans their operators will actually use.
Our Mission in Resource Stewardship
Built on practical efficiency
Short steps. Clear results. No theatre.
Measured work, steady change
2015
First major client
Our first large contract came from a multi-site operator that wanted one view of labour, energy, and machine time. That work set our standard for clear reporting.
2019
European rollout
We opened work across Europe after clients asked for the same controls in new plants. Same method. Different sites. Better discipline.
2023
Sustainability award
A client-side sustainability panel recognised the reductions we helped deliver in energy use and handling waste. The award mattered because the savings stayed in the process.
What we do now
We find waste in plain sight, then show the team how to remove it without slowing the site down.
Typical focus
Labour, energy, stock, routing
Working style
Site-first, report-second
Result you can use
A plan the floor team accepts
Meet the Experts
Small team. Hard standards.
Each person owns a part of the job and keeps it tight.
Practical people, steady follow-through
Alicia Mercer
Chief Executive, industrial engineering
Alicia set our operating rules. She keeps projects tied to site reality and checks every plan against time, cost, and delivery.
Owen Calder
Chief Technology Officer, data science
Owen turns site data into clear signals. He keeps the models simple, the outputs traceable, and the numbers easy to trust.
Priya Dallow
Head of Consulting
Priya spends most of her time on site. She knows where change gets stuck and how to move it past shift habits and old assumptions.
Callum Innes
Lead Analyst
Callum tracks the waste that hides in handoffs, queue times, and duplicated tasks. He makes the case with numbers, then leaves the team with a clean action list.
What Drives Us
Values that change behaviour
These are the rules we use when the site is busy and the clock is tight.
Clear rules, clear ownership
Integrity
We show the numbers as they are. If a saving is uncertain, we say so and keep the estimate out of the final plan.
Innovation
We use better methods when they save time or effort. The tool matters less than the result it gives the floor team.
Client partnership
We work beside your managers, planners, and operators. Quietly. The goal is adoption, not a report that sits in a folder.
Sustainability
Less waste uses fewer resources. That shows up in energy bills, material use, and the amount of rework a site has to carry.
Excellence
We check the work twice. The standard is simple: if we would not use it on our own site review, it does not leave the desk.
Questions we hear often
Straight answers for busy teams
How do you start?
We begin with the process that costs the most time or money. That gives us a fast view of where waste hides and what needs to move first.
What do you need from us?
A site contact, access to basic operating data, and a few hours with the people who do the work. We keep the ask small.
How fast do you show value?
Most clients see the first practical changes during the first review cycle. The first win is usually the simplest one to prove.
