I value teamwork, developing the right team for the job is critical, I believe all teams should have a strong leader, I am a strong leader and value that I am only as good as my team. People make a business succeed; it has always been my goal to succeed. Upon accepting the role as Depot Manager with Anvil Plant Hire in 1996 turnover and profits trebled growing the businesses Tool Hire operation as well as sales. This put me in a very strong position to accept the role of Central Buyer in 2001.
