Background

About Darren Oldfield

With over three decades of cross-industry experience, I’m currently the Business Improvement Director at QPP, leading strategic initiatives that enhance performance, streamline operations, and deliver sustainable growth. My background spans senior leadership roles in business development, operations, and manufacturing, where I’ve built a strong record of driving transformation through Lean principles, Six Sigma methodologies, and value engineering. I’m passionate about aligning people, processes, and strategy to achieve measurable improvements in efficiency, quality, and profitability. As an MBA and certified Six Sigma Black Belt, I bring both strategic insight and hands-on experience in leading change, optimising systems, and embedding continuous improvement into organisational culture. Beyond corporate environments, I’ve supported SMEs in sectors such as offsite construction, aviation, and marine, advising on process improvement, innovation, and performance enhancement. I’m driven by a commitment to excellence, innovation, and sustainable growth — helping organisations turn operational challenges into opportunities for lasting improvement and value creation.
