Tony has been at Rotolok for 27 years! 17 of those as an assembler and the last 10 years running our busy assembly department.
In Tony’s words, leading from the top is essential to the success of his role, “I believe it is important to not ask anyone to do a job you are not prepared to do yourself, so I have made a point to learn all the skills involved in the job, including spraying and boxing.”
“Everyone knows I am always there to help them and I enjoy the challenge of trying to bring in new ideas to improve the way we work!”
