Q. What is your current job role at AP Racing and what does it entail?

Q. Can you talk to us about the day-to-day activities within your role?
A: My role involves keeping production supplied with the correct parts.

I also coordinate batch for production, which is arranging the order in which we service each production cell.

A: Some people might say that this doesn’t sound exciting, but my role is absolutely critical in the timeline of projects passing through our production teams. I have to be organised, but flexible to work across a number of projects when needed. I also enjoy helping people and working as part of a team, which is perfect for this role.

A: Knowing that my job makes a difference across the business, particularly when I’m working on the hatch in the stores area, or when training and supporting the development of colleagues within my team.
