With a 25-year career working with technically complex capital equipment, I have been involved in multi-million pound blue-chip engineering projects around the world. As a result, my in-depth knowledge of the production environment spans everything from waste management to the automotive industry and the fascinating world of aerospace. A recognised expert in shredding technologies for the alternative fuel production industry, I have played an active role in some of the country’s most exciting Waste-to-Energy (WtE) and biomass projects. My contacts and knowledge of the wider supply chain mean I am ideally placed to not just advise on the shredding machinery itself, but also the financing, design and cost reductions of the complete WtE solution. I have a commitment to delivering high-quality projects that achieve maximum profitability. With a strong sales focus, I am also responsible for the day-to-day running of the company, the implementation of ever-more efficient processes and procedures, and the ongoing development of my incredibly talented team.
