What is your current role and responsibilities?
I am the Sales & Business Development Director for Fitzpatrick Roll Compaction across Europe, the Middle East, Russia and Africa. Together with our local representations across the region, we directly support all of our customers within these territories on their Roll Compaction/Dry Granulation projects and enjoy a close working relationship with our support team at the Fitzpatrick Head Office based in Waterloo, Canada.
What has been your career experience to date?
Having originally trained as an electrical engineer specializing in industrial automation and control techniques, I began my journey with Fitzpatrick in 1993, initially working 1-2 years in our laboratory carrying out customer trials. Following this, I spent many years as a Commissioning Engineer which involved a wide array of tasks including liaising with our subcontractors, writing specifications for new installations, performing FAT’s & SAT’s, implementing qualification documentation and overseeing Fitzmill and Roll Compaction installation which involved the training of on-site personnel.
Before my current role, I was our EMEA Customer Care Manager, responsible for all external activities alongside our team based in the region.
This period of learning experience has proved invaluable and allows me to now share this broad technical and process expertise and knowledge and provide commercial support to my customers on their Roll Compaction/dry granulation projects.
