I have known Chris since we first worked together at Moog in 2014. His openness, enthusiasm and professionalism played a significant part in developing the relationship between Moog and Sherborne Sensors.
Chris takes the time to understand both the customer’s requirements and the supplier’s challenges. He deals in facts, communicates clearly and does what he says he will do. His ability to keep people engaged, remove unnecessary complexity and focus on the right outcome helps build trust and keeps things moving forward.
Since Moog, I have chosen to work with Chris across several organisations, including the high-tech start-up Opsydia, as well as within the space and defence sectors. The main reason I continue to work with Chris is Chris himself, not simply the company he represents.
His customer engagement is next level, and he has a genuine ability to turn complex challenges into practical, commercially focused solutions. I am confident that Lean Sales Excellence® will bring real value to any organisation willing to listen, challenge how it currently operates and commit to meaningful change.

I am pleased to provide this testimonial for Chris Parsonage, who I have known for around 20 years in a number of professional capacities.
I first knew Chris through his work in business development within the defence and aerospace sector, and later as Managing Director of a cable assembly business, whilst I was employed by a major defence company. Chris and I worked closely and collaboratively to improve performance within his businesses — that work delivered substantial cost savings in support of a major defence programme.
Over the years, I have continued to support businesses in which Chris has held leadership roles, applying lean manufacturing and process-improvement methods to strengthen operations and deliver significant, sustainable savings.
Chris is outgoing, open and honest. He is refreshingly straightforward, communicates clearly and builds strong working relationships. I have always found him practical, collaborative and focused on results.
Based on our long professional association, I am very happy to recommend Chris and to recognise the positive impact he has made across the businesses and programmes we have worked on together.
