How do I make our customers' lives easier

By taking the stress out of the supply partner selection process. Food and beverages packaging is such a key part of the product, so having the right format, healthy levels of UK stock and consistent quality, will only make our clients' lives easier.

A little bit about my past

I have worked in sales for over 13 years, predominantly property-based. I joined Aegg in June 2020 to oversee the property management at our hub in Eye, helping to get Aegg up and running for manufacturing. However, as the company sales continued to grow, and with my background, I moved across to the sales team in January 2022, developing new and existing customers.

A little bit about my past:

Having managed own brand launches I understand the pressures faced by manufacturers and the importance of a reliable dependable flexible supply chain.

What I like to do in my spare time:

I really enjoy cooking (back to the food again!), proper ‘get stuck in’ gardening and skiing (badly). With 2 sons having left school winter weekends standing on rain-swept touch lines watching rugby are now a thing of the past.

I also participate in the trial filling of new products and feedback results to customers, creating a strong link between our clients and manufacturers.

What I do to make our customers' lives easier:

My role is to keep the pots (and lids) rolling, i.e. to be delivered on time and in full. Intense planning and mass communications (with sales teams, customers, suppliers and all modes of transport) required. Quite stressful but totally worth it when I see the Aegg logo at the bottom of a great dessert pot on the shelves of all the major supermarkets.

Leading the plastic product manufacturing team, I ensure the highest quality standards are always met while continuously looking for further improvements and efficiencies.

A little bit about my past:

I started working in the plastic food packaging business from 2002 as an operator but quickly found myself joining the machine setting team. Over the years this led to me becoming one of the key members of the workforce. Redundancy in 2017 meant one door closed while a new one opened at team Aegg.
