This week began with a Manufacturing team day at a hotel in Stratford. This proved a great opportunity to gain insight into manufacturing and project engineering across Great Britain, Ireland and beyond. Although meeting so many new people in one day seemed quite daunting, I found everyone was very approachable as well as keen to share ideas and experiences. I made some useful contacts for projects I am working on which I will be following up in the coming weeks.
Next day I travelled up to Sheffield to meet with members of the gum manufacturing department and discuss a new project I am working on. This is my first 'project leader' role so it's a real learning curve for me, but getting out there on the factory floor today and talking to the people who work with the equipment everyday has definitely helped my understanding.
