I am a goal oriented sales management and business development professional with 9+ years of experience; deep understanding of the glass packaging market along with effective international sales, business development and customer relationship management strategies while being flexible and adaptable with a high level of emotional intelligence, change-oriented and valuing diversity.

I have been in the transport industry my entire life. As the daughter of a third-generation lorry driver, and a transport manager, working within the transport and logistics industry is in my blood. I have spent time working within the food industry over the last 7 years, working on projects, intaking and analysing raw materials, analysing out bound goods, as well as logistically planning how to get finished products to the customer.

What I like to do in my spare time:

In my spare time I love being out and about with my friends and family. I have a love of live entertainment in terms of the theatre and music concerts, so as much as possible, I love going to the theatre or a concert.

A little bit about my past

Since graduating, I have worked in sales for over 12 years, predominantly property based.   Over a year ago I joined Aegg, overseeing the property management at our logistics hub at Eye, helping to get Aegg up and running for manufacturing. I'm now looking forward to working with the sales team developing new and existing customers. 

What I like to do in my spare time

With my wife expecting our first baby in early 2022, I feel my spare time will be a thing of the past. I used to enjoy the vast variety of restaurants and bars across London, travelling and outdoor pursuits.

What I do to make our customers' lives easier:

I joined Aegg in 2016 excited by the prospect of working with passionate dedicated people focused on providing customers with the best possible packaging solution against their brief. As a sales team we pride ourselves on proactive fast response time and solutions.

A little bit about my past:

I love food and drink! Following a degree in Food Science my career has seen me work for both multinational food groups and smaller challenger brands……..but always in FMCG sales. Having manged 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:

Really enjoy cooking (back to the food again!), extreme gardening and skiing (badly). With 2 sons both playing rugby, winter weekends see me standing on rain swept touch lines/ visiting A&E departments.

What I do to make our customers' lives easier:

My aim, when developing a new product, is to end up with a container that fulfils all the customer’s criteria, performs well, and is delivered in a packaging format that can be easily used on the filling line.

I also provide technical support in the event of any issues and have a wealth of experience in fracture analysis and problem investigation.

A little bit about my past:

After completing my degree in Materials at Sheffield I worked for 30 years in the glass container industry for a major UK manufacturer in various technical roles, including in the Central Quality Assurance Lab, as Technical Supervisor in the factory, as Quality Manager and in Customer Technical Service.

I also enjoy gardening and, of course, there are always plenty of DIY jobs to be getting on with!

What I do to make our customers' lives easier:

I joined Aegg, a relatively new challenger packaging brand, in 2011. My role ever since, has been to drive the growth of Aegg, ensuring that the people, suppliers and customers receive excellent quality and service.  I spend a huge amount of time wandering the world searching out and working with our suppliers as I believe the old adage “you are only as good as your suppliers”!

A little bit about my past:

I have been very fortunate to have working in food and wine related businesses since the age of 14 (working in a bar cellar). These experiences include various roles; in small & large food manufacturers for both retail and great brands; selling wine to the public; and the creation of food menus for large airlines, as well as VIP jets!

I have worked in supply chain and love to wander around manufacturers discussing their best, and in some cases, improvement required practices!

When time allows, I love sailing, however, much of my time is taken up with the family at the weekends, football, skating and arguing over pocket money seem to be most prevalent activities!

My role as Sales ledger controller see me keeping all our customers’ accounts up to date with remittances received and Sales invoices and making sure that no one falls behind with payment!! My other main duties involve preparing management reports. 

A little bit about my past:

I have always worked in an accounts environment and mostly in the food industry starting my career at Petty Wood as a junior accounts clerk. I have also dabbled in a bit of office management but that is another story!

What I like to do in my spare time:

As everyone including my family will tell you, I can bring any conversation back to my passion which is cycling. When I am driving I am always talking people through how hard it is to cycle up this hill or this is where I saw a king fisher etc. I also love baking (not cooking! Very different) which I am able to enjoy as I cycle it off.

What I do to make our customers' lives easier:

I work to a customers brief and sketch a few ideas specifically tailored to their requirements. Once we've found a design that the customer likes I then design the product on a computer to create a 3D model, which can be printed so that the customer has a physical model they can interact with and possibly request some changes, before spending money on trial moulds.

What I like to do in my spare time:  

I love to cook, and always enjoy finding new techniques and recipes to try. I've also been playing golf for the last 16 years, so on sunny evenings & weekends I'm normally at the golf club attempting to play better than the day before.

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.

What I like to do in my spare time:

I am an inveterate traveler, with an ambition to visit every UNESCO heritage site in the world. Love the Russian classic literature, choral music and film noir.

My role is to ensure the successful flow of finished goods from the port to our logistics hub in Eye,  liaising with our supply chain and monitoring shipments from our manufacturing partners.

I’ve also spent time as a receptionist / administrator in care homes where I gained strong administrative qualities.

I’m an avid Norwich City supporter and season ticket holder, I also attend some away matches.  Linked to this I keep canaries in an aviary in my garden!

I like to keep busy going to the gym regularly and playing lawn bowls in the summer for a local club to county standard.

What I do to make our customers' lives easier:

By guiding clients, both new and existing, towards the right choice of packaging for their product. My primary focus will be building upon our already extensive range of glass packaging within the UK from start-ups to established household brands.

A little bit about my past:

I have worked within the UK glass industry for the last 22 years in sales, technical & operational roles. I particularly enjoy working with fledgling brands to make their concept a reality.

What I like to do in my spare time:

A father of two and so when spare time allows, I like to keep fit through cycling, running & rugby (too old and should know better). Anything outdoors and sport related I am your man!!

What I do to make our customers’ lives easier:

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.

What I like to do in my spare time:

I enjoy spending time with my family and listening to the stories from my children's day. If I get time, and a turn with the telly between cartoons, console gaming is fun or getting out socialising with friends.

I work to ensure that our Products exceed customer expectations, I update and maintain the QMS as well as looking after anything Quality related on site. I work with suppliers to achieve the same standards that we strive to achieve ourselves.

I enjoy spending time with my family and running around taking my children to their various clubs etc. I also enjoy time with my Rhodesian Ridgeback (Arnie). My son is a budding Actor and so I enjoy watching him perform on stage whenever possible.

What I do to make our customers’ lives easier:

I ensure that the warehouse runs efficiently, I am always looking at ways to continuously improve on our warehouse procedures and standards. I strive to deliver the best customer satisfaction. I work closely with the quality function to maintain traceability, both on incoming and outbound stock. We have also established a 5S team within the warehouse to standardise and maintain a world class manufacturing way of working.

A little bit about my past:

I worked within a Blue Chip company for 10+ years and gained many skills and experiences that have now led me to Aegg, including standard operating procedure creation and management within warehouse, production, 5S and People. I have a good knowledge of QMS systems, inventory control and I was a SAP (System Applications and Products) super-user.

What I like to do in my spare time:

I have a young family, so most of my time is spent with my fiancé enjoying watching our two children growing up.  I run regularly and hope to race in the London Marathon next year. Me and my son watch and play football any chance we get!
