Spent my formative years back in the 1980’s stripping out disused chemical plants in Teesside, before using the knowledge I had acquired, to purchase and sell process plants for repurposing back into industry. I worked in partnership with RS Bruce from 1986 onwards and joined as project co-ordinator in 2009. My ability to repurpose redundant plant developing and installing new process technologies, helped grow the business to where it is now. With over 40 years’ experience across manufacturing and recycling, I was promoted to key account manager for the business. I oversee all commercial aspects of recovering platinum group metals from chemical, pharmaceutical, solvent, and plating wastes, as well as the calcination of various high temperature shift catalysts. Good lines of communication are fundamental to the success of any business, my main aim is to continue building on the solid foundations we already have in place, and further strengthen our position as a key supplier in the global supply chain to the precious metal industry.
