New Zealand's only business coach who actually built a factory. Bernard grew a manufacturing company from zero to 200 tons a day with 75 staff. Now he helps Kiwi manufacturers find the profit leaking out of theirs.


Anyone can hand you a theory. Bernard grew a manufacturing company from nothing to 200 tons a day, turned it into a NZ Best Workplace, and got invited twice onto the global Lean tours that operators fly across the world to study.
He knows what it is to meet a real payroll, run a real line, and carry the whole thing on your back. That is exactly the owner he built The Business Gym for.
Most manufacturers are not short on work. They are short on time, margin, and a business that runs when they step away.
Quoting, firefighting, chasing the floor. The work that grows the business never gets done because you are buried in the work that runs it.
Revenue looks fine, but profit does not. Pricing, quoting and follow-up gaps quietly bleed the money you should be keeping.
Take a week off and the place stalls. Without systems, the business is only ever as strong as your presence on the floor.
Answer a few questions about your business and Bernard's team builds you a custom Profit Roadmap, then walks you through exactly what to fix first on a free session. No charge, no pressure.
For New Zealand manufacturers ready to add profit and buy back their time. Takes a few minutes to start.
Manufacturers and operators who stopped being the bottleneck.
