I am an experienced, determined and decisive MBA, a CMI Chartered Manager, and a Fellow of The Chartered Management Institute. I have sophisticated operational and business administration skills and over 25 years senior management experience in areas of business strategy and direction, operations, product development, manufacturing and business development. I have successfully started a new business in a highly competitive market and have been instrumental in the acquisition and subsequent integration of a multi-million £ Company into our business.I consider myself a customer focused, highly articulate, confident and persuasive team builder with the ability to motivate and communicate to achieve exceptional business performance. But of course you can’t do it all on your own and I have focused on building and developing high performing teams. Through this and a lot of hard work and persistence I have created a great manufacturing facility, probably the best and most advanced in its industry, reflected in the fact that we achieved a World Class score in a CBI sponsored benchmarking programme.My leadership skills, with experience of successfully managing change, and developing and motivating teams to achieve objectives, have been honed in very competitive, demanding and pressurised business environments. Innovative and resourceful, I am experienced in developing and taking new products to market, supported by proven experience and ability in the practical implementation of Lean and World class manufacturing techniques. In respect of product development, using design best practice and DFMA skills alongside some innovative ideas and lean manufacturing principles I have successfully redesigned a number of major product families to improve or realign their market position and provide for significant and profitable growth.
Listed skills include Change Management, Manufacturing, Product Development, Business Strategy, and 25 others.
