I was part of the senior management team and responsible for developing business relationships, managing existing accounts and sales strategies. This included the role of mechanical engineering manager for the first 6 months, running a team of 11 mechanical engineers including Testing and Validation.

This was a dual-faceted role with two distinct focuses: The business development role primarily used Formway’s product development and marketing expertise to leverage the company's existing IP into different industry verticals with a view to licensing it.In the environmental team leader role I established Formway’s Environmental Sustainability programme.

One of the highlights of my professional career was being project leader for the LIFE chair project, managing the final design and productionisation. This included managing the internal team of up to 14 staff as well as managing the relationship and interaction with the R&D team of their international partner company, Knoll.

As senior design engineer for the LIFE chair, my role included CAD management for Formway Design.

I was the design authority for the T3000 handheld product range, a $50M per annum production line and Tait’s flagship product. I also completed a BE Mech. Hons. during this period.
