Director
My career began as an apprentice sheet metal worker, followed by seven years’ experience on the shop floor as a skilled sheet metal worker. I was subsequently identified by management as’ having potential’ and asked to undertake CAD program training. This led me into management and ultimately becoming a Director.
In my search for knowledge and self-improvement I went on to take an Open University Honours Degree in Technology, whilst still working full time.
Outside of work, I have a number of interests which include walking, playing golf, watching football and spending time with my wife and two children. I have walked the Pennine Way and Offa’s Dyke and I have plans to walk many more long distance footpaths.

Director
I have been involved in engineering since 1994, working for a small engineering company producing medium to high batch products. Working through different skills on the factory floor gaining experience and knowledge, after a time rising to the position of foreman. During this time, I learnt all aspects of sheet metal engineering from computer-aided design (CAD) and CNC punching to managing people and processes.
I joined CSE as an assistant production manager, where Richard and I quickly became an excellent team, undertaking training in business management, health and safety and lean manufacturing to help to move the business forward.
Outside of work, I enjoy time with my family and taking part in various sports activities.

Administrator
I began working for CSE back in 2012 after a number of years spent in the retail/service sector. I quickly settled into the office environment and the gained knowledge of the engineering sector. Over the years I added to this knowledge with an understanding of the engineering practices and processes, as well as understanding the different sectors we supply into. I am involved in multiple aspects of the business and so have a wide knowledge of the business and enjoy the challenge this provides.
Outside of work, I like to keep fit and look after my family. With the odd trip to the pub!
