Role: Managing day to day operations of Peak Print Finishing. I brought the company when the previous owner had passed away and added 5 staff and took turnover up from £65,000 a year up to £200,000. Upon taking over the business i immediately identified quality control weaknesses in the production process,rectified and therefore improved the product to meet the specifications of my customer base. Due to the difficult challenging economic environment several key clients had to cease trading early 2009 and it became to hard to run a business without moving my customer base further a field which then impacted profit so i closed the door in March 2009
