Skills
I’m very hand’s on and able to deal with the staff on a level basis. If any problems arise I will listen to both sides and then make a decision rather than jumping in without the facts.
For the past 15 years I worked very closely with ABC & KCC and I feel that I have an excellent working relationship with both of the clients. I believe that the way I have worked with the clients has helped me to strive forward within my role at Biffa.
I’m able to deliver a high quality of service while keeping within budget & making sure that all KPI’s are meet, also ensuring that the company’s health & safety policies & procedures are adhered to.
Over the past fifteen years I have been sent to various locations all over the country on contract start-ups. This is to assist with the driver training & office training and making sure that all members off staff are fully aware of all the company procedures.

May 2000 I joined UK Waste as the site supervisor in Folkestone HHWS. In August 2001 Biffa brought out UK waste and I was offered the job as Site’s supervisor over the Ashford & Folkestone HHWS.

Within the first month me and my team made a very positive impact on the site to which was praised very highly by the client.
