Product Manager, Bearings

I started work at ERIKS UK in March 2001 after being on a temporary contract at Ball Packaging Europe. 

My life at ERIKS began as a Junior Inside Sales team member within a trading branch of WYKO called Air America (now known as ERIKS Imports) consisting of just 2 people, responsible for reselling all products relating to the general manufacturing to independent bearing suppliers nationwide. From start to finish I sourced and procured worldwide to warehouse and distribution activities.

Over the many years that followed I built up a strong knowledge of the market along with relationships with all suppliers and customers, progressively working up to Service Centre Manager where, with the support of my team, we developed into a procurement service for the ERIKS internal network.

In 2017, I took a leap to become Product Manager for Bearings within ERIKS - a role I am very much enjoying and am continuing to develop. 

Outside of the office environment I enjoy trips to my static caravan on the East Coast along with my partner Lisa and Dog Roxie, as well as spending time with my niece Jessica, who stays most weekends.
