Investing in our people is key at Tex Plastics
People make the difference in any business and Tex Plastics Injection Moulding focuses on the development of their people to ensure everyone feels valued. There is no limit to anyone’s career progression, with many leading management positions held by those who started on the shop floor but who have progressed through the ranks. Curtis Elliott joined TEX Plastics April 2012 as a Finishing Shop Operator and has steadily progressed since then to Secondary Operations Manager, a fantastic achievement.
"My new role is a wide remit, but effectively it's to look at the capacity options within the department. Explore how we can develop to run more dynamically, on multiple shift patterns, to grow the secondary processes. These incorporate all the post moulding operations, for example assembly, printing, and any added value solutions to maximise our value to the clients supply chain."

More efficiency comes from knowing the job and learning new skills
As a part of the progression process, individuals are offered external training to support their personal development and expand their thinking. Combine this with truly understanding the job in hand and it's an explosive combination. This next phase of Curtis's development will be a Leadership and Management Course, however he's already making his mark optimising processes.
