Summary

I currently work in the fragrance industry where I have 12 years experience in blending herbal and chemical fragrances using various methods from hand held mashers to 6000kg vats with propeller mixers. I have experience with using barcode scanner systems, in particular with IFS. I also have some experience in health and safety, providing safety reports including risk assessments, attending meetings and providing safety solutions along with ordering PPE.
