“I started here 24 years ago on the warehouse floor, manufacturing the epoxies. I had no idea then that I’d still be here or that I’d end up leading the operations team and being on the senior leadership team.

Wessex has given me every opportunity to grow, and I’ve grown with it. It’s a place where if you put the effort in, people notice. I am proud to be part of the history and journey to come.”
