My career history:
I previously worked for the Co-op before joining RMS, I spent just over 26 years in numerous roles from Customer Service Assistant, through Trainee Manager whilst doing my Degree to then moving into Store management which led to subsequently numerous roles in the field, working remotely.
My last two roles were running an area in Nottingham with 24 stores and over 400 colleagues and then finally before joining RMS I moved into our logistics team as a senior project manager, looking into better ways of working and how costs can be controlled and savings made across the business before then putting those new plans in place and managing the rollout of them across the estate and in our warehouses.
What I do at RMS:
I am loving my new role at RMS as a Partnership Manager, it is a challenging role as it is so varied from day to day, fundamentally I manage the accounts and relationship of our DIY partners, some of the biggest businesses in the UK. We are responsible for managing the end to end projects in new Format and Neutron refit work.
The role is about bringing everyone together for successful transformation, the project managers, logistics team, operations team to then the installation teams who are instore making the magic happen, it is overseeing the whole account, managing expectations and being super agile when we hit problems, as well as being day to day it is also being as focused on the future as possible, it's fun and really rewarding and the whole team are brilliant.
Interests outside of work:
Outside of work I enjoy life as mush as possible, getting together with friends, family, time with my wife Kelly a Nurse Practitioner and my daughter Isla who is 11.
I am also a District Councillor for Mansfield and the Manager of Ollerton Town Football Club a semi-professional team in Nottinghamshire, both very different but both give me a great sense of enjoyment and purpose.
