Axiom Process LtdManaging Director
Jul. 2001 - Dec. 2016Aberdeen, Scotland, United KingdomA start-up company and back working with my old boss and former colleagues who came to join us, we started with a business plan...and that was it! We had no office, no vehicles, NO employment contracts, no products! Ah well...heads down again! Quickly developed and patented what would become the highly successful AX Screening System and soon thereafter the revolutionary AX-1 shaker - which would become the benchmark for a range of triple deck machines that would follow from competitors. Thanks to the great relationships I had built up over >20 years we had the trust of some great people in many of the major operators and drilling contractors and it just 'took off'! We still had our challenges but those same people stuck by us because we persevered and made sure that we never let anyone down. Built another great team around us and developed engineers, managers and a plethora of other stand-out people who are now at the top of their games. Well done to all of you. It was all about hard work and an attention to quality! My management style also changed over this period into becoming less of a micro-manager and more as as mentor and innovator.
