Personal Profile
![]()
Plastic Moulding Solutions was formed in 1998 to provide services to the manufacturing sectors of the polymer industry prior to this I was employed in various areas of the manufacturing sector from packaging and medical products to consumer products.
I have held various positions with companies supplying global brand leaders in all markets these positions ranged from technical manager to manufacturing manager at leading plastic manufacturing companies within the UK and in Europe.
During this time I personally implemented numerous productivity and quality improvements and also designed several labour saving systems and equipment including the design and installation of clean rooms and equipment to class 100 specification.
I have also contributed to improvements in machinery and hot runner development and I am considered to be a specialist in thin wall moulding applications.
I believe that by working together all problems can be overcome and solutions engineered to eliminate waste.
