After studying Motor Vehicle Engineering at Leicester College, Michael joined COBA as Production Operator in 2005. Since then Michael has progressed through several roles such as Shift Technician and Continuous Improvements Engineer, to be promoted to NPI Engineer and Training Facilitator in 2021.
I found my new role while looking to advance within the COBA family. I applied to better myself and position myself somewhere I could help others with my unique skill set. The friendliness of colleagues and the possibility to work your way up through the company has always been my positive look at working for COBA.
A career highlight has been to successfully set up Tie Down production lines at three international locations including South Africa, Slovakia, and Romania. Michael also holds a Six Sigma Green Belt, which is described as someone who possesses a thorough understanding of all aspects of the Lean Six Sigma Method. A Lean Six Sigma Green Belt understands how to implement, perform, interpret and apply Lean Six Sigma at a high level of proficiency. Outside of work you might find Michael running or playing football, which he does twice a week.
