First, my self-intro:
I’m a native Irishman born in Belfast in the swinging sixties,(big
birthday in December!!)
I studied mechanical engineering and eventually expanded my
experience in manufacturing having held various roles with DuPont
in Technical , Quality, Projects & Engineering roles . For the past 6
years I have been leading a highly successful implementation of
the DuPont Production System at Maydown in N.Ireland.
