Operations ManagerAfter a twenty-year career in the horse racing industry, Simon decided to change direction and found himself working for Veritek, an engineering company that provides first line support both remotely and in the field to many of the UK’s premier retailers.
In the twenty years Simon worked with horses he had amazing opportunities to work in both Australasia and Asia, enabling him to both work and travel at the same time. In his first two years working for Veritek he worked in several departments, including Customer Service, Logistics, Parts and Account Management, to get a complete understanding of how the business operated.
Building on the knowledge that he had gained, from there Simon progressed into Team Leader and Management roles. During his 16 years with Veritek he managed many successful installation projects, embedded new business and account management processes and worked on gaining and maintaining ISO accreditations.
Simon’s responsibility for Agon is to manage Operations, ensuring we’re delivering in all areas of the business. His main focus is on Supply Chain Management, Customer Services and Logistics, which is particularly important when trading from both the UK and Spain.
