Bio
Jeremy Cuthbert
Kirren and I worked together within QA at 3M for three years (medical devices, ISO13485/ISO9001/GMP). During this time I found Kirren to be very organised with a good subject knowledge, which she was able to apply to problems to find practical and compliant solutions. Always quality focussed, Kirren would ensure that all products released were up to specification. She was able to work with the tech and production teams to ensure that solutions were applicable to all parties.
