I have helped to establish Aura Graphics as one of Europe’s leading commercial graphics companies. Over the last 12 years I have been involved in providing successful graphic solutions for transportation, retail, promotional, architectural, events and petroleum markets and for some of the most demanding clients.Involved in planning projects from conception, ensuring maximum material efficiency, scheduling and supervising print production to ensure critical dead lines are met, liaising with external suppliers and providing instructions to ensure smooth installation. Experienced at balancing multiple projects at different stages of progression with critical deadlines and adept at identifying and resolving potential obstacles early in the process.

During my time with Fenn Graphics I have introduced a graphics studio and overseen the evolution of the digital department during a period of rapid technical progression.Specialising in commercial fleet graphics we have produced iconic vehicle liveries for major blue chip clients such as Sky, Asda, Wilkinsons, National Express and Virgin Media.Developing graphics from proposal or liaising with creative agencies to ensure artwork is the very best quality, I progressed from working independently to training a skilled team to work autonomously.The success achieved with Fenn Graphics led to the company being acquired in July 2012 by Supersine Duramark and re branded as Aura Graphics.

Originating leaflets, books and brochures from briefs agreed through client liaison, I worked with experienced four colour printers to achieve top quality products. Involved in updating the studio hardware and software including installation of a thermal plate CTP solution.

Working in a large studio for a company with minimal number of core products taught me about quality control & production efficiencies required to work within ISO standards. Responsible for pre press including film & photo polymer plate image setters.

Trained as a traditional offset lithographic printer on a Heidelberg GTO press.Learned traditional darkroom techniques & film work.
