CB TECHNOLOGY WELCOMES A NEW BUYER TO THE TEAM

We are delighted to welcome Stewart Wright to the CB Technology team in the role of Buyer.

Stewart has over 20 years of experience as Buyer. His previous role with MPACT Group saw his work in a highly regulated environment, covering both indirect and direct procurement.

In his new role at CB Technology, Stewart will interpret and manage direct sourcing activities in the most cost-effective and profitable manner, ensuring un-interrupted supply of materials and services.

As a member of the Procurement team, Stewart will develop and deploy robust sourcing strategies across a portfolio of assigned customers. He will also focus on delivering benefits within the supply chain and organisation by deploying supply chain tools including RFQ’s, negotiation and an understanding of the strategic supplier needs to satisfy the company customer requirements.

Stewart comments "I would like to highlight so far the fantastic team work ethic in a high paced environment and how welcomed I’ve been made by everyone in CB Technology".

A warm welcome and lots of good wishes on becoming part of our growing team.

WELCOME TO OUR NEW PROCESS ENGINEER APPRENTICE

CB Technology is thrilled to welcome their new Process Engineer Apprentice, Ethan Smith, to the team.

Ethan is the second Apprentice to join the team and he will be working closely with CB Technology’s experienced team of engineers, receiving industry-leading training, and learning experience to support his development.

Ethan’s role entails implementing customer data into our system and creating a process to introduce the product to the manufacturing team. This involves creating all documentation from start to finish ensuring this is kept up to date, and capturing any changes made to the product.

Ethan comments: “I like my job as I find every day to be different. I rarely find myself doing the same job/task day-in-day-out. In this job, some days may be more challenging and busier compared to other days where its more easy-going and things run much more smoothly”.

CB Technology believes recruiting an apprentice is a productive and effective way to grow talent and develop a motivated, skilled, and qualified workforce.

We look forward to supporting, developing, and working with Ethan and wish him every success on his CB Technology journey.
