Prior to my commercial roles, my background was within Logistics and Supply Chain, including various roles with Somerfield and The Gerber Juice Company. I also have experience working in Analytical and Data Mining roles. My experience in Sales, Logistics, Supply Chain and Data roles combine to give me an excellent all round understanding of business, and the ability to work flexibly across, and with all business functions. I enjoy an environment where no two days are the same, and am comfortable in all aspects of business, including negotiating complex contracts, exhibiting at Trade Shows, analysing sales data for future strategy, and working closely with NPD colleagues throughout an end to end development process. I have the ability and confidence to work with people across all levels of business, including working with the senior teams within my customer base.

I'm into my second period with Proper Cornish, so it can't have been so bad the first time around! Previously working as the site technical manager in the old bakery, I have since spent time working in various other food manufacturing businesses in both technical and operational leadership roles. Proper Cornish is a great business with a genuine family feel, full of inspiring people who truly value their team members, manufacturing with great passion to produce a range of excellent savoury and sweet pastry based products.
