What’s your job ?

[Airtime]

And very good equipment it is too.

We have some of your test rigs, extensometry and furnaces here in the UK (I work for HBM United Kingdom Ltd).

Do you know Dr. Darren Burke, one of MTS' UK Sales?

That's nice! I sure do know Mr. Burke, we met a couple of times.

[buddysbuddy]

Technical Manager for a company that supplies all the supermarkets with apples and pears. I am responsible for Waitrose, so I have to travel around to make sure they are the best quality, ethically sourced, produced sustainably, etc, also get to work on innovation and creating new varieties, like www.jazzapple.com which is a Braeburn crossed with a Royal Gala. Get paid to see the world which is great , but spend around 10 weeks a year away from the family, which isn't . Think "the man from Del Monte", but without the linen suit.

I honestly thought you were using rhyming slang first and you supplied supermarkets with a facility to get to an upper floor!!!

I’m Head of Facilities at the UKs most famous holiday resorts.

Just about to change jobs though and become Head of Property at a fairly famous Stately Home and Safari Park.

Answers on a postcard.
