LocomotionatShildon

Hi all, just a few word from Simon and Stuart in Locomotion Models to introduce ourselves to you all out there Simon – Commercial manager I have previous experience as a Regional / Operational Manager delivering cost effective services & functions to meet customer expectations within retail and hospitality settings working for high profile high street retailer, entertainment company’s and local government. I am Commercially-focused, with success in managing finances with full P&L accountability; I have a history of maximising organisational profitability, while ensuring achievement of challenging targets. I am comfortable with high levels of accountability, I lead and motivate others to deliver and continually improve. I feel working for the NRM will be rewarding where I can use my skills and expertise to maximise business growth and gain a vast amount of knowledge and the challenges it brings to me. When I have spare time I help with the family allotment and have a keen interest in traveling around the UK with my partner and two Border Terriers. I am sure in time with knowledge from Stuart, collectors and volunteers I will gain a passion in locomotive models. Stuart – Retail team member I have more than 10 years’ experience in quality high street retailers, with a particular focus on merchandising, gifts and hobbies. I have been working at Shildon from February 2014 as a casual and soon after to be offer a contract for NRM. Recently with an increase of hours and responsibility I have been working alongside Simon on developing the trade events, Locomotion models website, internal administration and blog on RMweb to enhance the visitor experience and to get Simon up to speed on modelling bombarding him with knowledge. I am also a lifelong railway enthusiast. I enjoy all aspects of railway modelling, as well as having a keen interest in all aspects of railway history. With thanks Simon and Stuart
