WORK HISTORY
Supply Chain Manager @The Workdry Group
This role marks the next elevation stage of my career. To build, manage & lead a supply chain function that transforms how refurbishment operations group wide. My plan is to take ownership of procurement, inventory, and logistics to make sure materials flow seamlessly through the existing and future Equipment Refurbishment Centres across Workdry InternationalI see this as more than just managing stock or chasing suppliers, it’s about designing a supply chain strategy that minimises downtime, improves component availability, and ensures our refurbishment teams are always ready to deliver, creating the foundation and blue print for scaleable growth within a PE owned organisation. I’ll be driving supplier performance through definition and creation of robust KPIs, rationalising partnerships, and embedding a culture of accountability and improvement across a diverse team with varying skills and experience.Alongside the strategy, I’ll stay hands-on: developing ERP/MRP reporting tools for the site and group, resolving supply bottlenecks, and implementing lean practices like 5S to create smarter material flows whilst coaching a change leader into new ways of thinking and working. A big part of the journey will be building the team by recruiting, coaching, and giving people the tools and confidence to succeed while embedding a positive, proactive culture that holds accountability in the right places.The challenge excites me because it sits at the intersection of leadership, process improvement, and compliance. I’m planning to bring my experience of ERP systems, stock optimisation, and cross-functional collaboration to help the site align with group objectives while carving out its own efficient, reliable supply chain model for the group.Ultimately, my goal is to leave a lasting impact by shaping a function that’s not just reactive, but strategic, one that underpins operational uptime, creates measurable cost savings, and sets new standards for Workdry international.
