      As operations manager at Rapid Spray my passion was driving continuous improvement throughout the workforce and our manufacturing processes. During my time as operations manager, we put 75% of our manufacturing staff through Cert 3 or 4 qualifications in 'Continuous Improvement' and embarked on several business changing programs that drastically reduced our out-of-stock lead times and turn-around on moulded products. As operations manager I also had responsibility for managing Research & Development and worked with the team here to bring several fantastic improvements to our R&D facilities including 3D printing and in-house CAD design and engineering.
