I have worked across a variety sectors within the engineering industry for 17 years.

Of these, seven were with Aston Martin Ltd where I was involved in the development of both the DB9 and V8 Vantage sports cars from concept to market, and four years were with mobile phone manufacturers Vertu and Nokia developing a range of premium handsets.

For the last four years I have been engaged at De La Rue as a member of the UK Passport team, where I have total accountability for the end to end activities, milestones and finances required to deliver projects as part of highest profile and largest revenue contract that De La Rue have.

In addition to my engineering and project management abilities, my experience has always involved dealing with external suppliers, internal stakeholders and I have continually lead cross functional teams from various departments, including external contractors and suppliers in a range of locations globally, as a single cohesive team.

Adept at Project Management, supplier liaison and planning, with a high degree of experience of modern manufacturing techniques which combine to provide the best solution for the task at hand.

I am accustomed to frequent overseas travel, to work with suppliers in their own environment.
