MULTICHEM - Key Persons
Job Titles:
- Operations Co - Ordinator
Alison started at Multichem in July 1998 and is now responsible for production planning, purchasing as well as organising our trade shows and travel arrangements.
Alison works four days a week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday) and says that is enough! At home her two girls keep her busy though she does sometimes find the time to bake cakes or biscuits. We all reap the benefits when she does.
Dave joined us in June 2009 bringing with him over 30 years' experience in the ink and pigment dispersion industry. He ran his own company for 15 years manufacturing bespoke inks.
Married with three grown-up children who will not leave home, his hobbies include football, rugby and cricket although sadly these days that means watching on TV rather than playing. Dave's music tastes are LOUD which probably explains why he is a little deaf!
Job Titles:
- Product Development Manager
After a very successful Knowledge Transfer Partnership with Northumbria University and Innovate UK, we decided to keep hold of Dr Tommy. Tom's PHD in ‘advanced molecular photonics' has been essential in driving our product development to the next level.
On top of all this he still has time to form part of our sales team with hobbies including climbing, running, cooking and linguistics. Where does he find the time to follow his beloved Liverpool FC.
Job Titles:
- General Manager, Multichem Shanghai
Marie joined the team in 2004 as Laboratory Technician and progressed to the position of Senior Chemist in a very short space of time. She is now responsible for Regulatory Affairs and Product Compliance.
Michael has been with us since 1999 originally combining a number of roles which included Sales, Operations, Human Resources as well as our Quality, Health & Safety systems; the next obvious step was his promotion to M.D. in 2015.
In compensation for the workload, Michael ensures he always has spare time to pursue his hobbies of coaching kayaking and canoeing for a local charity. He never travels when the rivers are running!
Sam (short for Samantha) came on board in 1998 and is responsible for distributing the vast amounts of ink we produce to the four corners of the earth. We have yet to find a destination where she has failed to deliver although our sales team is doing its best to plant a flag in the North Pole to set her a real challenge.
Sam enjoys socialising and visiting her parents in Cyprus. Be warned though - she hates being called Samantha!
