Amari Metals Ltd 10/06/2014 - 11/29/2024

IT Director

As IT Director at Amari, managing a team of 40 IT professionals, I led a multi-year transformation modernising technology across more than 60 sites. I replaced ageing WAN/LAN infrastructure, standardised and merged ERP systems, strengthened cyber security and introduced scalable governance and processes. I aligned technology with business strategy, improved operational efficiency, and stabilised a previously fragmented environment. I delivered post-acquisition integrations, enabled remote working during COVID-19, and oversaw complex divestiture migrations. Through strong leadership of dispersed teams and close engagement with senior stakeholders, I created a resilient, modern IT estate that improved reliability, performance, and cost efficiency while positioning the organisation for data-driven growth.

I focused on improving service levels, tightening cost control and building a culture of accountability and high performance. I developed and empowered teams, introduced clearer KPIs and aligned the business around customer needs and growth opportunities. Through disciplined execution and a focus on operational excellence, I delivered significant productivity gains and achieved more than 19% ROI while strengthening overall business stability and competitiveness.

IT Manager

I transformed the IT landscape by unifying two previously disconnected systems and harmonising the cultural differences in how each business used technology. I successfully implemented a standardised ERP platform in both the Netherlands and Singapore, delivering consistent processes and data visibility across regions. From the UK, I provided ongoing support and governance, ensuring both businesses operated efficiently on a single, scalable system. Systems supported included AS400/i-Series 400.

Customer Service Manager

As Customer Service Manager, I proactively monitored all customer vehicle tracking systems to ensure they remained fully operational. When issues arose, I quickly coordinated engineer visits and worked closely with customers to minimise vehicle downtime. My approach maximised system reliability and delivered a consistently high level of service for every tracking device in the fleet.

Project Development Manager

Starting as a Systems Engineer, I quickly progressed to delivering large-scale IT projects that modernised core business processes. Working with IBM on the AS/400 platform, I implemented an e-commerce solution that enabled customers to order staff clothing with accurate sizing and fit, significantly improving service efficiency. I also led document-scanning and workflow automation initiatives that fed customer orders directly into the system without manual intervention, saving the business hundreds of thousands of pounds and reducing processing time dramatically.
