Me and My Factory

Shepherdson’s right-hand man is factory manager Gavin Astill (pictured left). Astill, in turn is assisted by Olga Gzibovska (centre).
“Most business decisions are made between Gavin and me,” said Shepherdson. “I don’t want to visit a customer and tell them that we can fulfil a specific order, only to return to the factory and have Gavin tell me that we can’t – so constant communication between us is vital.
“Olga, meanwhile, has worked her way up from the factory floor to be Gavin’s assistant in just three years.”
