Nottingham-based metal forming and PVD coating specialist, Vestatec, has appointed Claire Lloyd to the role of quality manager.
With most of its products being delivered into the heavily regulated automotive sector, this is a key role in the organisation, taking the lead to ensure that the company stays compliant with the ever-changing standards and expectations set by its global customer base.
Bringing a wealth of experience following an extensive career in the manufacturing industry, Claire joins the team from Guildford Performance Textiles, where she spent some 30 years taking on the role of quality systems engineer before moving into a product testing role.
Commenting on her appointment, Claire said: “I’m delighted to have joined such a fantastic team here at Vestatec. In what has only been a short time at the company so far, I can see the care and dedication of each and every person in the business which is clearly shown through the end product.”
The recent appointment comes as the company’s current quality manager, David Marriott looks to step down from his role as he approaches retirement.
Claire added: “I’m looking forward to utilising my industry experience to support the company in its quality management programme continuing the great work that David and the team have implemented to date, and ensuring that only the highest quality products leave our facility on their way to our loyal customers.”
On the approach to his retirement, David said: “Having begun my career in manufacturing back in 1974, I’m delighted to have had the opportunity to spend the final years of my career with the team here at Vestatec.
“The family ethos of the organisation is truly unique. Everyone is an individual from the team making the parts, booking in the material, loading the trucks, or those in management – everyone knows one another and is treated as a family.”
