Managed the sub-assembly and despatch teams, based at our Northern centre. I was responsible for setting and implementing operational budgets and service levels for the operation. I successfully implemented the growth of our own fleet of HGV vehicles, undoing a failed third party contract. I had input into, and often assisted, in the design and manufacture of new products and ranges, as well as the value engineering of some of our most successful existing ranges of furniture. I had many promotions at Project Office Furniture and throughout my career received extensive training that was second to none within the office furniture industry. After starting at the very bottom of the ladder as a warehouse porter I worked my way up to the senior, national management post, reporting directly to the Managing Director, through my strong work ethic, commitment to the company and commercial awareness.
