‘we plan for you to succeed’

Planning is foresight, looking ahead, getting a set number of people doing a set number of tasks to achieve a specific goal. Planning allows you to do this in the most efficient way, foreseeing and avoiding as many problems as possible.

Gives you up to date information to make informed decisions. Planning enables you to communicate clearly to your teams, the right activities at the right time, saving you TIME, EFFORT and MONEY!

As early as possible, from the idea/concept stage (see Project Life-cycle) on the What is Project Planning page.

Our planning services are provided in ‘packets of time’ so you only buy the amount of time you need, when you need it. This approach makes professional Project Planning available to all individuals and SME businesses.

We have over 45 years experience and knowledge in industry. We value honesty and trust and feel we are able to plan effectively for you and your business, leaving you to do the things you do best.

Planning is a valuable investment, keeping you on track with a potential Return On Investment (ROI) in excess of 500%. Would you invest £2,000 if you could save £10,000 after BPS Ltd costs. If Planning were to save you 1 hour per person per week on your project, business or event and you have 5 people it only takes 50 weeks to have a 500% saving.
