We’re pleased to announce the appointment of Michelle Davies as our new Manufacturing Director.
Michelle has joined our senior team and brings with her years of expertise in various manufacturing management roles in sectors from confectionery to marine machining.
“I joined Rollalong because I saw an opportunity to challenge my skill sets in business management and work with a team that is dedicated to their industry,” said Michelle.
“Rollalong is a successful company employing skilled local people. The team has been great in welcoming me and helping me understand all things modular!”
Michelle has several aims and objectives to achieve in her new role, such as improving production processes and flows to achieve target hours, costs and client requirements, maintaining strong communications between production and the rest of the business, and reviewing opportunities to automate, all while continuing to manufacture a high-quality product.
However, Michelle has not always worked in the modular or construction industries; in fact, her first role was in confectionery.
“My career began working up from the shop floor in the confectionery industry all the way up to Production Manager,” she said.
“From there I became a Production Manager building caravans for the leisure industry and then transferred to General Manager in metal fabrication and machining for the marine and architectural sectors. I am well respected within the marine industry, having worked closely with production builders and class surveyors.
“I’ve learned valuable transferable skills throughout my career such as management of people and process control, both of which I’m excited to bring to the table at Rollalong. Engineering is also the base skill for this product which I have experience in, and over the next couple of years I’ll be expanding my knowledge on modular builds.
“I’m thrilled to be working at Rollalong; it’s been a steep learning curve since my appointment and I have loved every second! There’s always an exciting new project to work on while using R&D to improve our work along the way.”
Managing Director Steve Chivers commented: “We are delighted to welcome Michelle who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the team. We have a strong pipeline of work and we are committed to delivering a quality product for all of our valued clients.
“Michelle has joined us to ensure that Rollalong’s manufacturing capabilities meet the strategic needs of the business over the next few years, delivering efficiency improvements and digital solutions to create a solid foundation for the manufacturing team to grow and sustain itself in alignment with the positive growth curve of the company.”
