Gareth Ormerod

I am a time served engineer with nearly 30 years' experience, initially focusing on the skill of tool making before moving into the manufacturing of aerospace, automotive and medical components. I have experience of both milling and turning. I am a hardworking and enthusiastic team member who is always willing to learn new skills to ensure I remain a valuable member of the team. I am quick to understand and carry out new processes and can comfortably work on my own initiative when needed.
