“Richards enthusiasm for the topics involved and his background enabled him to relate anything that we were unsure of to an industrial setting and example that improved not only his teaching but mine and others understanding of the content.” - Green Belt Delegate, TATA Steel
“The course was delivered efficiently and effectively tackling current Aston Martin problems with the intention of implementing further improvements.” - Business Improvement Techniques Delegate, Aston Martin Lagonda
“Small group of people on the course so really easy to pick up any queries or questions. Richard was a great teacher and really adapted examples to my line of work I.e 5 other people on the course came from manufacturing and it would have been very easy to use manufacturing examples throughout but Richard made me feel included and I understood. The communication from Creative Difference training was great, Gabby is quick to respond and friendly. I thoroughly enjoyed the course.” – Yellow Belt Delegate, Welsh Ambulance Service
“I've enjoyed it all... It’s been a journey and I cannot wait to continue with other projects for the business. Steve's been amazing and helpful and I'm grateful for his time and effort. Thank you” - Green Belt Delegate, Rocialle Healthcare
“My experience with the Six Sigma and OPEX training provided by Creative Differences has been transformative, both for me personally and for the organisation.
The training equipped me with the tools and methodologies to streamline processes, reduce waste, and enhance overall efficiency. The practical knowledge and skills I acquired have empowered me to approach challenges with a data-driven mindset, significantly improving my decision-making capabilities.
The broader impact on our company has been equally profound.

“I recently completed both the Green Belt and Black Belt courses with Steve at Create Differences, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. The waste reduction project was particularly exciting, pushing me out of my comfort zone and into an operations-focused mindset, where I learnt so much. Steve’s in-depth teaching of the DMAIC framework was invaluable, and I’ve since applied it to everything from small, structured meetings to larger projects that influence company-wide decisions.
Steve is truly a master of his trade, with an enormous amount of patience and an impressive ability to guide a team through the various stages of development, from norming and storming to performing. The Black Belt leadership training was a highlight, especially the insights around leading teams through these phases.
We are now fostering a new culture in the organisation, embracing Six Sigma and Lean principles, and introducing a fresh language and a new way of thinking. I look forward to applying everything I’ve learnt to future projects. Thank you, Steve, for your dedication and expertise.” - Melody Gardiner, Commercial Manager, Siderise Insulation Limited
“Enjoyed the course and feel the building blocks are in place to implement future improvement. Great course, great team and great trainer.” - Green Belt Delegate, Nuaire
“Steve’s delivery of the course has been excellent – constant communication and help where needed. Steve also provided me with additional resource to aid me with completion of my Green Belt Six Sigma Project – of which I could not be more grateful for!” – Green Belt Delegate, Eriez Magnetics
