Alan Atkinson Email & Phone Number

Moncton, Canada Area

I am currently looking for new opportunities in the Maritime Provinces but also able to take on projects worldwide as I have done in the past. I have many years experience in the world of brewing but have developed skills that can be transferred to many industries. Finance, Financial Planning, Logistics and Human Resources are just a few of the areas I am conversant with. If anyone just needs an extra pair of hands to help them through a project please give me a shout.
