Summary
I have over 18 years experience working in manufacturing and distribution in various sectors like Aerospace, Automotive and Adhesive. I have evolved from the shop floor through roles to team lead, parts specialist, supervisory positions and have even moved countries to help set up new facilities.
I am an extremely reliable, hardworking, conscientious and focused individual with the ability and experience to communicate well with others at all levels. As well as being self-motivated, i am able to support and work well as part of a team working under pressure and to tight deadline schedules. In order to improve myself, I welcome the opportunity to learn new skills to enable me to carry out new roles and progress my career further. I believe there is always room for improvement - both personally and professionally.
With my level of experience and willingness to learn, as well as a passion to drive improvement, I am confident that I can make a positive contribution to any role undertaken.
