Began as an apprentice at a lock making company (Pickersgill Kaye in Hunslet). After 12 months (in 2008) I was made redundant and quickly found employment at a flexible hose manufacturer (FTL in Morley) and completed a 4 year apprenticeship. Once I finished my apprenticeship and passed my BTEC in Mechanical Engineering I went on to do my HNC. During this I was promoted to Quality and Health & Safety manager before moving to Cutwel over 5 years ago.

My engineering career started at 13 working  school holidays and weekends in the machine shop at my father’s engineering company in Sheffield, where I did everything from scrapping out machines to working a Herberet 2C.

My working life started in 1990 with a technical apprenticeship at a large engineering company in Sheffield (now called Davy Markham). I then moved to a sub division of theirs in the design office, working on new and existing designs for rolling mill guide equipment.

I left in 1995 to work at my fathers engineering company which he unfortunately had to sell, so I moved onto Arrowhead Rockdrill in Chesterfield where I worked as production engineer and then production manager. After 4 years I moved to Scotland, and was offered a job working for a Sheffield based tooling distributor (now Kyocera). In 2008, as the recession hit, I went to work for an American Ceramic & Carbide tooling manufacturer Greenleaf Corp. I was responsible for growing sales of ceramic indexable tooling in Northern Europe, machining difficult to machine materials such as hardened steels, and Heat resistant alloys. I then moved to Cutwel in 2018 to look after national key accounts and  the external sales team.

I started my apprenticeship at Yorkshire Machine Tool in Elland. I did a year here in the machine shop on all manual machines.

Unfortunately the company made me redundant and closed at the start of my second year.

After a short time off I resumed my apprenticeship at multi-tech engineering in Ferrybridge. I worked for MTE for 13 years on all manual machines and CNC lathes.

After spending so long in the machine shop I fancied a change and jumped at the opportunity to work at Cutwel as an internal tech. After a year internal I got the opportunity to progress to

an external tech role.

I began my engineering career at North East Engineering LTD as a CNC Turner working in subcontract work, meaning day to day the jobs and materials varied. After serving my time I was employed by Stephenson’s Precision engineering, during this time the company and its employees were bought out 2 times meaning I was working for Teescraft LTD where I gained more experience with having apprentices and employees under me as I was promoted to shift leader. I served this role for just over 2 years before moving to Cutwel to pursue a career where I can share my knowledge throughout the engineering sectors. Whilst working on the shop floor I set and programmed multiple machines with live tooling capabilities including: Doosan, Mazak, Hurco and Romi. I was predominantly a Turner but I have set and ran Doosan milling machines.
