At 57 I have experience in many disciplines of engineering and have worked at most of the key positions within a fabrication company from the factory floor all the way up to company director, taking in sales, project management, design, production management, procurement and installation. Specialising in signage and architectural work, I freelance for companies providing site surveys, general field work and project management. My most recent work has been on the Crossrail project stations at Canary Wharf, Farringdon and Woolwich providing field and project management services for signage from concept design through to site installation management.

My experience
2010 - 2012
job
Senior Project Manager
ASG Group Ltd.
Working directly for the Managing Director in a work from home position, I was employed to develop and value engineer product for the 2010 Tesco Express new build and refresh project, including a major new
initiative called the 2010 Milestone development. Following success in this specialist area the company
applied my design and engineering skill to development of a new brand image for the DSGI Group,
developing and project-managing signage for a new Currys - PC World brand launched at the new
BLACK concept store in Birmingham's Bull Ring Centre. During 2011 I was tasked with exploring Tesco
stores throughout Eastern Europe with a view to developing and value engineering a uniform European
single source sign catalogue. During the second half of 2011 I have headed up the project management of various roll out programmes for Tesco, including the changing of open hours advertising on existing
signage at 400 UK Tesco stores and the development and implementation of LED wireless price change
technology at 451 UK Tesco petrol filling stations and stores. The wireless price change project involved the development and value engineering of new site entrance totems with consideration to the inclusion
of wireless communication equipment. The project also involved the retrospective installation of the LED
equipment at 175 recently refurbished sites. During my employment at ASG I have also continued to design and project manage signage projects for a number of European based shopping villages.

1998 - 2009
job
Director
Active Signs Ltd.
In a period of some 10 years, I held the position of Production Director for Active Signs Ltd in Ramsgate.
For most of this time, my overall status was that of an operations director in charge of the companies
commercial activities, including design, project management, manufacturing and field services, running
national and international projects from the point of order to completion, or as I have always described it
- from "cradle to grave".
• Development of an extensive management and production team and National and European
logistics and installation operation.
• Management responsibility for up to 135 directly employed staff plus sub contractors.
• Progressive company development. Under my direction the company turnover developed from
£2.5m in the financial year 1998/9 to £10m in during 2006/7.
• Planning and implementation of the company expansion programme saw two major building
extensions, both project managed and implemented by myself, taking the factory floor space from an original 15,000 square feet, firstly to 55,000f2 in 2002 and then to 85,000 square feet
in January 2006.
• The company climbed to the panicle of its industry in 2005, achieving the coveted title of "Sign Company of the Year" and maintained this position by retaining the award for 2006.
• To add to various nominations and awards, in 2008 I was personally awarded the "Retail Sign of the Year" award for my project management of a multi site architectural metalwork and sign
package project for an international retail village outlet. This project remains ongoing.
