Outstanding operational strategies, operations budget management, return on investment and best practice capabilities. Now seeking a Chief Operating Officer, MD or similar senior executive role in the UK.

I am seeking a senior business management position at Managing Director/COO/CEO level. Ideally this would be with a privately owned, manufacturing, multiple site business with an international market. A company seeking radical restructuring or improvement would be of particular interest. I can offer significant experience and a record of achievement in such a role, and I enclose my CV for your consideration. My Linked-In page is .

In the last ten years with Air International Ltd, and latterly with Northern Engraving Corporation, I have demonstrated extensive expertise in international business development in the automotive and rail industries, both in the high volume and low volume capital equipment sectors. In both companies, this role has been combined with a remit to transform a failing business into a strongly profitable enterprise. In both cases, this increased turnover by 30% profit improvement of more than 100%. Having successfully transformed Northern from a heavily loss-making zero worth business with declining revenues, into a profitable one with growing sales, at the owner's request I have concluded the sale of this company for $35m to a Chinese company.
