Questions

Tell us about your career and job roles?

I began my career as a Shift Manager at Cestrum Conservatories, where I oversaw all aspects of the manufacture of conservatories for 10 years.

I then moved to AG Pilkington Glass, where I started as a Production Operator on the IGU lines. Through hard work and dedication, I progressed to the role of Shift Manager, where I took on greater responsibilities and leadership.

I then joined Euramax as the Shift Supervisor in the Welding Department, further expanding my skill set in a different area of production. Afterward, I returned to Barnsley as a Shift Manager, and I currently serve as the Production Support Manager at Press Glass Barnsley, a role that allows me to apply my experience in production management and support.

What changes have you seen over the last few years?

Andrew – Over the years, I’ve seen significant changes, particularly with the introduction of new types of glass in the market. A notable development at the Barnsley facility was the installation of robots on the IGU lines, which has greatly impacted our production processes.

What do you do outside of work?

Andrew – Outside of work, I enjoy watching ice hockey. My family and I are regular supporters of the Sheffield Steelers, attending games whenever we can. Additionally, I enjoy socializing with friends at my local pub, where I participate in a weekly quiz.
