My story
A breadth most businesses only get from a whole team.
My career has taken me from large corporate automotive businesses to SMEs, working across manufacturing, quality, procurement and new product introduction. Over more than 25 years, I've seen supplier problems from different sides of the business and understand the pressure they put on the people responsible for getting things delivered.
My work has taken me all over the globe, with extensive time in Asia as well as Europe and the Americas. Working on site, alongside the people doing the work, has given me an understanding of different businesses and ways of getting things done.
I make a point of understanding the culture, because that is what builds the relationships success depends on.
›Independent. Practical. Present.
Renworks
No politics. No layers. Straight to the source.
Renworks brings that experience together in one independent specialist. No internal politics or complicated layers to work through. I work directly with the people involved, getting to the source of the problem and helping them move things forward.
Sometimes that means looking closely at how things work within your business. Sometimes it means going to the supplier and seeing the situation first-hand, including internationally.
›How I manage change
Involve
Inclusive, regular communication, so doubts and concerns are dealt with openly rather than left to grow.
Embed
Follow it through until the new way is simply how things are done.
You can't please everyone.But you can make sure everyone is heard.
›Beyond the work
A bit about me
Outside work, I'm a keen traveller and sportsman. I started backpacking in the 1990s and haven't stopped since.
Travel has taught me to take the time to understand how people live and work. That curiosity comes with me to every supplier site, wherever it is in the world.
