Welwyn Garden City & Colnbrook

During my time at Atlantic i progressed to become a technical services manager & key account manager within the business. I took on the role whenthe company were setting up a new depot in Welwyn Garden City. A collaboration of employees took on the task of decorating, erecting shelving and stocking the depot before the management side took over for me. Being in at the deep end i implemented an electronic stock system to control the equipment inbound and outbound and ran a small team of 6 engineers covering a dedicated postcode area for installations & maintenance. My duties included the day to day running of the depot, engineers and vehicles. Account managing one of the companies major accounts (molsoncoors) along with a few other smaller independent clients. This was the first step on the managerial ladder. I really enjoyed learning new skills and taking on board the experience my peers had that would help me enhance my abilities

I took this role with Atlantic as a progression from an engineer to become a senior engineer. I came to Atlantic from Flowrite. I followed my manager from RFT, to Flowrite and then on to Atlantic i had built up a good relationship with him and felt loyalty was a key attribute to have in the working enviroment. I had only ever worked on Carlsberg Tetley installations and maintenance work previously and this gave me a chance to learn other customers specifications and expectations. I was not an engineer for long, i expressed my desire early on to progress through to senior technician. I always believed that i had the attributes and knowledge to be able to guide others. I trained many others that were new to the industry. The majority of these are still in the industry today.

St Albans, United Kingdom

When i joined Asquith i was new to the industry. I moved into the industry because i had been working in an office for DANKA UK as a purchaser and a salesman and decided that office work wasn't for me, being an active person, a job out on the road would suit me much better. I started out as a trainee and on completion of my trainign i was an established Drinks Dispense Engineer. i was out on my own within 3 months of starting and completing both installations and maintenance work. On leaving Asquith i went to a company called RFT and then Flowrite before moving to Atlantic all as a Drinks Dispense Engineer
