David Edwards Email and Phone Number
As an experienced General Manager/Senior Operations Manager I have enjoyed a challenging career leading multi-site international operations, logistics & human resources departments to increasing levels of success in the UK and across the Middle East. I thrive on the responsibility of delivering under pressure and being part of a close-knit team who are committed to achieving outstanding results for their clients.My aim has always been to combine a flexible, agile management style with strong responsive communication and decisive leadership, traits which I think emanate from a military background. As a result, I have gained a reputation for motivating and leading cross-cultural multi-disciplined teams in some very demanding environments. I am equally at home in the boardroom formulating long-term company strategy as I am working alongside the teams on the ground, but I am most passionate about giving employees the skills, confidence and self-esteem to bring out the best in themselves and the company. I take pride in a very successful business development record, increasing company revenues almost on a yearly basis and further adding to the company bottom line by implementing diligent fiscal and operational measures.
