Bio
Tony Bannan, OBE
I worked with Dave Goodwin at GSI Westwind, where his role as Ops Director demanded very strong technical and manufacturing management skills. His work ethic, determination and commitment are extraordinary, and his productivity - as an individual and senior manager - first class. I have no hesitation in recommending Dave for a senior management role in a demanding manufacturing environment, and would strongly endorse his application.

Dave and I worked together to introduce demand planning and other disciplines in a highly complex technical manufacturing company. Besides managing all the existing UK manufacturing, Dave was materially responsible for setting up completely new manufacturing operations in China with outstandingly successful results. Dave is highly industrious and imaginative, but disciplined and careful. He is open, frank and unafraid of controversy - I always enjoyed our work together for those reasons.
