Consultancy Services

We offer consultancy services in the field of scientific problem solving, particularly with regard to product formulation using experimental design and analysis, IT strategy, and custom software. We offer this support from a blend of experience in large multi-national companies. We aim to provide the link between training and the practical implementation of experimental design for formulation and process optimisation. Specifically, we can offer help in:

• Formulation optimisation via experimental design (including design-driven use of high-throughput experimentation)
• Formulation of structured liquids
• Formulation of cleaners and disinfectants
• Rheological flow models
• Transferable Skills

Software Solutions

We can advise on, design and implement custom software solutions to suit your needs, for example to integrate experimental design with existing data management systems.

Four Delta Consulting Limited was established early in 2001. The Company was founded by Jon Rabone (formerly of Cambridge Consultants) as a Software Consultancy. Later, the Company became a family concern in the autumn of 2002 when Dr Kenneth Rabone (formerly of Unilever Research and Development) joined as co-director. Our logo shows how adding four 'deltas' together creates a fifth large delta, to symbolise the value we add to our client. Our services have been of value to a number of clients, both large and small, national and international.
