What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on operations or branding leadership role where I can improve processes, lead teams, manage inventory/data, and drive cost-effective, safety-focused production.

I am an experienced manufacturing and branding manager with deep expertise in site logistics, master data control (Bills of Materials and routings), and managing printing, sublimation and embroidery departments. I have a strong track record of implementing process improvements, lean (5S) practices, and training teams to improve quality and throughput.

Throughout my career I have led teams across warehousing, production planning, work-in-progress control and inventory management, and created practical tools such as costing spreadsheets, item-code request forms, and WIP documentation for Sage X3 and MS Navision. I have managed up to multi-department operations, overseen stock takes and cycle counts, and coordinated cross-functional meetings to meet delivery deadlines.

I am results-driven, adaptable and safety-focused, with achievements that include developing new documentation and recipes, achieving strong workplace evidence scores, and receiving a long-service award. I am available immediately and open to relocation, seeking opportunities where I can apply my operational, logistics and data management strengths to deliver measurable improvements.
