I commenced work at this employment in January 1988 but at the time it was F.G.Chambers Limited and i was employed as a labourer in the distribution centre. Over the years i worked my way from this to chargehand, shift manager, warehouse manager through to 2002 where after obtaining various qualifications in health and safety i became the company health and safety manager.

My responsibility in this role was predominately the health and safety of the day to day operation of the Stoke site employing over 200 people on a 24/7 operation. the set up consisted of our own transport department with a fleet of 30+ HGV's, a goods-in department, a distirbution warehouse, a bulk storage facility and a saw mill. I was also responsible for a site at Warrington and Beckton.

During my time in this role though i was also responsible for contractors on site and was responsible for the health and safety / CDM side of three major projects which we had these being a £1m + project to refurbish the distribution warehouse by removing all the old racking and replacing with brand new racking as well as introducing a computerised picking system. Another was to fully automate the saw mill with machinery inported from Germany which was another project value in excess of £1.8m and, the final major project i was responsible for the health and safety management of was the sell off of the Warrington site for housing development which involved ensuring all asbestos was identified and removed, demolition and land clearance.

I have worked with Port Vale Football Club as one of the safety officers for the club where we ensure the safety of everyone at the stadium during match day and other events. This has lead to new knowledge from courses such as counter-terrorism, safeguarding, accessibility, crowd control and, allowed me to support other clubs with health and safety processes.
