The People

Group CEO – Anthony Goodwin

Co-founder Anthony worked as a cost consultant delivering MRO integration and inventory management to large manufacturing organisations prior to forming Propeller in 2001.

As a result, he was instrumental in the development of the model which Propeller utilises today, offering free of charge upfront consultancy backed up by implementation of targeted solutions.
