ABOUT COLIN SMITHSON
Results focused Senior Manager with over 30 years experience in Change Management, Business Excellence, Environmental Management, Supply Chain Development, Business Process Improvement, Laboratory, and Project Manager with a background in Chemistry and Business Intelligence currently working in Environmental Compliance and Quality for a 300kt pa solid fuel manufacturing plant. I am well versed in PRINCE2, lean manufacturing, knowledge management and continuous improvement (Six Sigma, Lean and Agile), quality management within ISO9001, ISO14001 and ISO17025. A self driven interest in ESG Management for non finance businesses.Well versed in creating and maintaining defensibility for business in connection with quality, health and safety and environment. With an analytical science background I have a keen eye for detail, a methodical approach to work and a insatiable desire to ask \"Why?\" and \"What if?\" Always looking for ways to improve processes and drive businesses forward.Outside of work my main passion is Musical Theatre, I am involved in a local theatre company who perform at a local theatre usually in June, but (just like delivering a project) there is so much that goes on behind the scenes, around 5 months of dance and singing rehearsals, plus line learning, prop building, set making before we even get to the stage of performing. It also helps with something else I enjoy, learning.
