Bio
Angelos Angelidis
I have worked with Paul over several years. First time was when he was providing hands on coaching to our line operators in Nigeria. His objective was train operators on high speed lines to increase line OEE in as short a time as possible. This he did successfully. Several years later and as a direct result of the good work he did previously, he was asked to go to Nigeria to help develop our distribution warehouse managers in several locations in Nigeria. Again, this was achieved over several months. In my opinion, Paul is an excellent front line development manager.

Paul has carried out a couple of projects for me when I was MD of SIG Ireland, in 2014 he helped us to reorganise our 2 warehouse facilities to allow us time to look for a new facility to service the Ireland marketplace, Paul was Project Manager working with 2 junior colleagues & our management team to deliver improved storage capacity through 5S & workplace organisation and his team improved communications by installing accountability at the operations management level and realigning our stock profile. In 2017 he helped us out with reorganising our new NDC at Ballymount, zoning our product groups & laying out the facility to improve service to our site & trade counter customers. I found Paul to be an engaging Project Manager with the ability to get stakeholder buy in at all levels from shop floor to director level. Its my pleasure to endorse him

I fully recommend Paul as an Operational Project Manager. Paul helped us to relocate our pick and pack operations to a new warehouse and lead the project and coordinated all keys activities in an efficient and effective manner. Paul excelled through the process and coordinated with the various parties involved including contractors, operations team, IT team amongst others and delivered the project successfully on time and on budget with effective communication to all key stakeholders. I fully recommend Paul for any interim operational project management opportunities.
