FE Associates
FEA has been providing support at senior levels across FE and skills for 12 years. In my view, the era of Area Reviews represents the largest macro-level shake up in that period. It was our clear responsibility to innovate our services to meet the challenges our customers face. The result was our partnership with Bentley Management & Consulting - a business with proven achievements in this area - and the creation of the Lean Programme. It had long been apparent many providers had to become more commercially focussed. If FEA were to deliver an operational programme which can achieve that goal we would need to pool our years of FE expertise with the best in management consultancy.
