Mercury Glazing Supplies has restructured its manufacturing leadership team as part of its commitment to staff development and lean manufacturing practices.

The new leadership team is now headed up by Kevin Marriott, production supervisor who reports directly to Alan Hockey, manufacturing manager at Mercury. Kamil Wlodarczyk heads up commercial product manufacturing, Bradley Bishop heads up bi-fold and patio door fabrication and Stuart Oaks heads up PVC-U manufacturing.

Alan Hockey said: “The new team structure reflects Mercury’s ongoing commitment to optimising its operation whilst fostering a culture of growth and expertise within the business. I am confident it’s the right manufacturing leadership team to take our business forward.”

As a testament to its commitment to employee growth, Mercury has enrolled four of its manufacturing team on the Level 3 NVQ manufacturing programme supported by the government’s apprenticeship scheme. This investment underscores Mercury’s belief in nurturing talent from within and equipping its staff with the skills and knowledge required to excel.

By participating in the programme, the employees will gain a comprehensive understanding of advanced manufacturing techniques and principles, further enhancing their contribution to the company’s success.

Steve Cross, director at Mercury, said: “Our recent restructure of the manufacturing leadership team and the Level 3 NVQ enrolment marks the next steps in our journey towards operational excellence. We are committed to manufacturing high-quality products across our range and fostering a workplace where our employees can thrive and further develop their skills.”
