When did you start working at the company?
In 2010, my journey with Louvolite began as I joined the cutting department at our Crossley Road facility. Little did I realise then that this decision would mark the onset of a profoundly transformative chapter in my career.
Why did you choose the field you are in?
When I graduated with a degree in biotechnology, I never imagined myself delving into the realms of textiles and coatings. Yet, fate had a different plan in store for me as I embarked on my journey with Louvolite. It didn't take long for me to discover a deep fascination for these fields that I had previously overlooked.
At the outset, textiles and coatings seemed worlds apart from the realm of biotechnology that I was accustomed to. However, as I immersed myself in the intricacies of these industries, I found myself captivated by their complexity and potential for innovation.
