I am a dedicated hardworking individual with a diverse automotive engineering background and a passion for detail leading to high quality results.I worked at Lotus for 19 years, starting as a Lotus Engineering Apprentice but quickly took on new roles and responsibilities. In 2000 I became a Project Support Engineer for the niche vehicles devision. In 2002 I became a Supply Chain Analyst where I was able to put to good use my ever increasing detailed knowledge of Lotus vehicles, where rapid Bill of Materials construction and estimate costs are required.In 2005 my driving abilities were recognised and I achieved a long tern career ambition by becoming a Lotus Driver Training Instructor. This opened up many other opportunities for me within Lotus. It gives me a great chance to meet and work with new people showing them what Lotus’ can do whilst being able to teach people something I have a great passion for. In 2009 I became a Vehicle Development Engineer where I could fully utilise my skills and experience and as a result I participated in a wide range of roles required to deliver a project from concept to completion.In 2010 I was promoted to the role of Sales and Marketing Executive due to my detailed product knowledge and customer profile understanding. I was responsible for the Product Profile requirements of the new Exige V6 and Elise S. I was tasked with increasing Elise sales of the base Elise 1.6 in a very short time frame but with no financial investment required. My concept was to create the Elise Club Racer which was more focused than the standard Elise with reduced weight through the deletion of selected components and the fitment of key existing options. The vehicle was very well received by the press and succeeded in increased sales volume. Due to the success of the Elise Club Racer, it is still manufactured today and is now also available as the Elise S club racer.
