🧰 Who We Are


Methodology Man Ltd is a UK-based project management consultancy specialising in complex industrial, commercial, and IT-enabled builds. Whether you’re upgrading a factory, installing capital equipment, or modernising your systems—we help keep your project moving.

We work with SMEs, tech innovators, and growing businesses who need expert delivery without full-time cost. From setting up your PMO and designing factory layouts to unblocking stalled installs—we bring structure, experience, and sleeves-up delivery.


No fluff. Just progress.


⚡️ Fed up with corporate buzzwords and endless schedules?

Sick of hearing about “synergies,” “key takeaways,” and “moving the needle”?
Want to actually get a project finished—not just talk about it?

That’s what we do.
We get in, work with your team, and get things done—cleanly, safely, and properly.
Whether it’s a small internal upgrade or a full-on factory build, we’re there to make sure it happens.

🎯 What We Do Best

  • Full lifecycle project management
  • PMO frameworks for scale-up operations
  • CAD layouts, factory and process design
  • Bespoke Microsoft 365 systems for tracking and compliance
  • HSE integration (RAMS, PTW, CDM coordination)

We speak factory and firewall, boardroom and boots-on-site.

🧍 Meet Jim – Founder & Fractional Project Manager

Jim Edgar founded Methodology Man Ltd because he was tired of watching brilliant subject matter experts get set up to fail. Just because someone knows the technical detail doesn’t mean they should run the project—and too often, they end up stuck in the weeds, constantly tweaking, refining, and restarting while delivery stalls.


Jim’s been brought in after months of wheel-spinning more times than he can count.


He doesn’t out-expert the experts—he frees them up.
He holds the bigger picture, keeps things moving, and knows when to say:


 
“We’ve met the spec. Let’s get it delivered.”


His job is to get the result—not just admire the plan.
Because progress beats perfection every time.


And he’s passing that mindset on.

Jim’s actively helping a new generation of project professionals learn what it really takes to deliver: how to handle it when things temporarily go wrong, how to reset without blame, and how to keep moving forward with confidence and clarity.

“The result is what matters—not the journey. Nobody remembers the perfect plan that never got finished.”

Whether he’s reviewing RAMS on site, mapping out a workflow, or helping a junior PM steady the ship, Jim brings structure, rhythm, and just enough cheek to keep things human.


No fluff. No flash. Just delivery—with a grin.
