Q & A
In terms of your job, what gets you out of bed in the morning?
People – Firstly, I have a great set of colleagues who all club together where needed and take pride in doing the best job they can. Secondly, and it certainly makes my life easier, I have a fantastic customer base. Everyone we work with is lovely! Our customers treat us with respect and value the partnership both parties work hard at creating.
What does ‘Design, Manufacture, Finish, Deliver’ mean to you?
It encompasses the whole process – from assisting with initial conceptual designs all the way through the manufacturing process (from raw sheet steel to fully finished/assembled products) and delivering, as promised.
What is something you have to deal with in your job/industry that you want to fix?
From my own experiences and from customer feedback about the industry as a whole, I feel customer service in the manufacturing industry is one of the main areas that needs improvement. Companies are quick to rely on the best equipment in the marketplace but, if promises are not kept or potential issues communicated, it’s all a waste. Communication and service are both massive focuses for us at Unifabs. Our aim is to stay close to and work with our customers, at every stage of the process.
Just for fun
Can you play any instruments?
I played the piano for years when I was younger, to a pretty decent level. The sad thing is, I can barely read music anymore. I also fancied myself as a bit of a guitar hero and still play now, albeit not very well.
What is the weirdest food you’ve ever eaten?
I was tricked into eating ram’s testicles in Israel and, in all honesty, they’re as unpleasant as you’d imagine! Powdery…
