Kevin Callus is the Managing Director of Kadant UK Limited - a manufacturing and engineering company which employs around 85 people.

Kadant are a global supplier of high-value, critical components and engineered systems used in process industries worldwide. Their products, technologies, and services play an integral role in enhancing process efficiency, optimising energy utilisation, and maximising productivity in resource-intensive industries. 

Kadant is a global group, and the UK-based company has the key responsibility for leading the research and development and manufacturing of composite products in Bury.

These responsibilities mean that they have high expectations for their employees, and they needed CG Professional’s help to ensure productivity and output needs are consistently met.

Kadant turned to CG for a new approach to their HR solution. Kadant wanted long-term support that was proactive, direct, and met the desired outcomes. They needed support addressing complex HR issues - including disciplinaries, dismissals and avoiding potential industrial tribunal cases.

CG has worked closely with Kadant to understand their evolving business needs and underlying issues that were creating frustration and negative results for management.

With the support of CG, they now have the confidence and knowledge to deal with these problems effectively, to ensure the business can continue to run smoothly. 

CG have also helped Kadant improve in other areas too. For example, they have seen increased engagement and motivation across the team due to the fresh approach they are now taking.
