Gerard Dodds

A reliable, hardworking, and experienced Production Operative with 21 years of dedicated service in the caravan manufacturing industry. Recently made redundant following a long and successful career with Erwin Hymer, where I developed extensive skills in manufacturing, assembly, quality control, and working efficiently as part of a team to meet production targets. I take pride in producing high-quality work, adapting to changing production demands, and maintaining excellent health and safety standards.

I am now seeking a new opportunity within manufacturing or production where I can bring my experience, strong work ethic, and commitment to contributing positively to a successful team.
