Summary

I am a committed, reliable, conscientious professional quality manager, possessing a wealth of experience which spans over 12 years with a proven record of running a 9001-quality system for two companies supplying numerous industries such as Aerospace, Automotive and Fluid Power. I have an excellent work ethic and have demonstrated the ability to work successfully as part of an integral team in a medium size company. Equally, I have the skill to work independently, always employing a ‘can do’ and positive attitude.


I am also responsible for all Health & Safety aspects within the company, this involves compiling and reviewing risk assessments and organising training courses throughout the company covering all necessary Quality & Health and Safety Legislation such as FOD (Foreign object debris) and manual handling training.


I believe in my own ability and have a proven track record when it comes to carrying out ISO and customer audits due to the high number of completed audits with none or very low numbers of non-conformances raised.


I am certainly a team member who is willing to help in other departments and during my time at my current company I have setup and run the current apprenticeship system, being the connection between company and college.
