Who We Are

Welcome to Solutions House! The place where energy and ideas collide, to make your mission impossible become a business reality.

We are a team of experienced Business Improvement Consultants with decades of knowledge gained from working in senior positions in Operations, Change Management and Business Transformation roles. Our work has taken us around the globe within manufacturing, healthcare and service sectors for SME’s and large corporate organisations as employees and sub contract consultants.

We are owned and managed by Gary Sheader, who left a successful management career back in January 2010, not to build an empire with Futurestate Solutions, but with a burning desire to make it easier for you to improve your operations and cultures on an affordable budget. He felt that the consultancy and advisory roles of old needed to make way for a more dynamic and open minded method, which will achieve more profitable results that are SUSTAINABLE, with less jargon and complexity.

Our customers agree that we're different to our competitors and more than just a management consultancy or training company. We're improvement specialists that genuinely care about you and provide affordable services to people like you that are willing to push the boundaries and take a new approach to improving business performance.

You can be sure that all Futurestate Solutions Consultants share the Futurestate Business Values and we only employ people that fit within our trusted business culture.


What We Do

We provide what our competitors do not, the EXACT product you require, in the right quantity, at the right time, with perfect quality, at the right price.

We take what you are already good at and elevate your products and services to new heights, while at the same time removing waste from the business. This proven approach will instantly increase your margins and give your business a new lease of life.

We're changing the way you improve performance and increase your bottom line via a unique execution of lean manufacturing principles. By working closely with consultants and associations around the world, we are able to provide services to help you do things you never thought possible.

We make it possible for you to apply innovative solutions that will:

  • Excite your customers
  • Increase your profit margins
  • Engage your staff
  • Improve your process performance

We're able to do this with our team of focused individuals who share a passion to improve business performance, hundreds of business professionals in our network who share their insights and ideas, and a number of business associations that help us share information so you have the confidence solutions are possible.

We are not consultants that only have hammers in our toolbox making all your problems into nails. We provide services that add value to your business and will always advise based on maximising opportunities for profitable growth. Our typical interventions with businesses looking to improve are:

  • World class benchmarking
  • Strategy development and deployment
  • Customer value proposition
