Summary

I am a contentious and professional line manager within the chemical industry. I have a driven and focused attitude towards KPI's and production targets. I have worked for Nufarm for 26 years and the majority of these years as line management. Due to a management restructure I left the line management roll and became a specialist chemical operator as the restructure didn't suit my personal circumstances.
