What can BPC do for me? My CV!! We did some research and presented a report to the manager I led and managed a team of students in a project to investigate a decline in profits of an SME. As a direct result, wastage and duplication was reduced by 20% and the board of directors refocused the business to address key priorities. The company has adopted my recommendations in full, which has led to an increase in profits of 15% in the first quarter 10
