What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a challenging role where I can fully use my trading operations, chemistry, process improvement, supplier management, quality, and analytical expertise.

I lead trading operations at Pressure Die Castings, sourcing imported parts from China, negotiating supplier terms, managing landed costs, and growing product ranges and gross profit.

Previously, I improved electroplating, anodising, powder coating, and etching processes as a Chemist, and developed validated analytical methods at Talbot & Talbot for water, wastewater, soil, and marine testing.
