Joining the company at this critical growth period provides me with a unique opportunity to shape the company’s vehicle associated assets. There is obviously a huge challenge accompanying the new role, however I feel my industry experience places me in a strong position to take charge of Northgate’s mission critical product and focus on the management of inbound supply; with a view to support growth, process improvement and the introduction of new technologies.’
