Methodology
The VWS Westgarth Healthcare approach requires a "partnership" role with the client, rather than the traditional contractor role. With this philosophy at the core of the relationship, we can understand and best serve the needs of the client and ensure that production interests remain to the fore at all times.
By assuming a proactive role in all aspects of plant operation, the expertise that VWS Westgarth provides can be put to best effect. The client can rest assured that the continued health of the plant is under constant expert supervision and that risks of unforeseen problems have been minimised.
A key tenet of the Healthcare philosophy is a proactive and not reactive approach to aftercare.

An almost immediate reduction in shutdowns was experienced together with a general improvement in performance.
This situation continues to this day.
