This is a web site run by one of the larger HCI consultancies in Britain (Systems Concepts Ltd) and it documents numerous case studies of traditional human factors and HCI involvement by them. There is, of course, a sales flavour to many of them, but generally they are described in enough detail to allow you to form a judgment of them.
