ONFAB - Key Persons
Job Titles:
- Manufacturing Team Leader
When he first joined ONFAB, Andy was responsible for the installation of our flexible isolator systems at client sites around the world, as well as providing training on their use. His very first project saw five new isolators successfully commissioned in Macau, and his job took him on exciting visits to Europe, China and the USA.
Using the knowledge he gained, he has now been promoted to Manufacturing Team Leader where he makes sure that every isolator is manufactured to the highest quality standards, overseeing welding, cutting and cleaning. By understanding both how clients put their isolators into use and how we make them, Andy is invaluable when liaising with our engineering teams to make sure new design projects will run smoothly.
Andy encourages the rest of the team to join him competing in marathons, which are even better if they allow him to indulge his other passion of travel. He tells us that his wife and two boys are his whole inspiration for working hard every day.
As a Sales Manager for Onfab, Daniel is responsible for driving new business growth, client account management and lead generation across all three brands. A sales professional since 2007, he has excelled in previous commercial roles for manufacturing companies, including Kendrion and Bailey Streetscene.
Taking great pride in delivering on his promises, Daniel even travelled to the USA to oversee the completion and installation of a project with a large pharmaceutical client who needed help to process a high potent solvent using a secondary form of negative pressure containment/room enclosure with a step change entry and exit.
Away from work, Daniel has his hands full with his young family. Anyone accepting an offer to play a round of golf with him should be aware that he plays off a handicap of 5. Don't say you've not been warned.
