Winston Brown is the founder of inspiring Business Integrating Solutions (iBIS), a managing consultant, and a black belt lean six sigma senior coach. In 1990, he began his own personal journey leading continuous improvement projects in the automotive industry. He enjoys designing, developing, and delivering tailored programmes, which change thinking and behaviours. He has successfully implemented breakthrough improvement projects within several industries. He has deployed continuous improvement operating systems for clients in the automotive, life science, pharmaceutical, aerospace, logistics and agrochemical sectors. He has delivered both financial and non-financial benefits across the business operating model including product development, engineering, procurement, production & supply, and logistics.

In 2004, Winston attained a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Engineering with first class honours from Coventry University. He is a Fellow of the Chartered Management Institute and a Practitioner of the Chartered Quality Institute. Winston was trained in the practice of client-centred consulting by Bill Evans. A key belief in this approach is, ‘The client has the ability to solve their own problems, they just need the wherewithal’.

Winston also believes in diversity, equality, and inclusion (DEI) and actively encourages leaders to create the right environment, for their employees to feel safe and have a voice. Winston helps leaders see the ‘BIG Picture!’, which enables them to align principles, practices, processes with the desired level of performance. This is the founding principle on which he designs all his client’s solutions.

Winston uses the client’s current business challenges as the means for developing the leaders and their teams. He follows the Japanese management principles of kaizen (continuous improvement) and jishuken (self-learning) to transfer knowledge and build a person’s capability. Leaders who are more aware of themselves and their impact on others are more capable of delivering sustainable performance improvements.

Winston is also an author. In 2023, he published his book, ‘Kaizen for Personal Growth Development’. This book provides the reader with a road map for creating a better home and working environment. It enables the reader to discover their self-value, to use their learning & insights to help their own development, and the development of others.

Shelbe Hosking is the creator of SAH Arts and is a project manager at inspiring Business Integrating Solutions (iBIS) Ltd. In 2017, she completed the Quality 4 Life Self Improvement Programme to help her overcome her challenges of her mental health and personal crises.

The programme enabled her to find her identity and learn new skills and gain self-confidence to deal with the challenges in her life. This newfound belief allowed her to release her creativity, and this is when she started painting. The paintings enabled her to be seen and heard for the first time as the artwork captured her story which made it easier for others to understand.

Shelbe created SAH Arts to give others the opportunity to express themselves and to be heard. This is important to her as through her experiences the most difficult thing she found was not being valued. Since being listened to, Shelbe is now seen for who she is and over the years her confidence and self-value has grown.

Shelbe is passionate about mental health and domestic abuse and tries to help people suffering with similar issues. She uses her own personal experiences and the Quality 4 Life Self Improvement Programme to help others. These solutions are built around the principles of continuous improvement and self-learning. She has qualifications in understanding peoples mental health, domestic abuse, lean organisation management techniques and leadership.  

Shelbe supports the mental health awareness within the family environment as well as the working environment. She uses art as a means for people’s voices to be heard. The act of painting allows people to release their emotions by making them more visual. People are drawn to the image which allows the person to be heard and to engage in deeper conversations. Shelbe creates the right environment where people feel safe to express their emotions.
