Congratulations Anthony Jones, Operations Manager!
4 December 2023
With 18 years’ service with TEX Plastics, Anthony is now the Operations Manager at the Derby facility.
Improving effectiveness, efficiency, and general house keeping
I'm primarily focused on maximising efficiency, minimising cost, and ensuring customer satisfaction. We have a system which continually reviews our operating processes, it looks to create maximum value for our clients, and a safe working environment for our people. Balancing these goals is challenging in any dynamic working environment, but even more so at TEX Plastics Derby. We have a rolling regime of replacement, which means there are areas with the manufacturing processes working while others are being dismantled.

It's a great role and an exciting time in TEX Plastics metamorphosis
Our new evolving factory layout, the introduction of a TEX Plastics injection moulding training academy and a machine replacement programme where new energy efficient machines are transforming operations. It means I have different challenges to oversee almost on a daily basis. It's a really exciting time at TEX Plastics, with all the changes and investment. I think I've seen more changes in the last 12 months than in the 18 plus years I've been here. I started as Warehouse Manager, then my role grew as I became Logistics & Compliance Manager, this latest promotion gives me more responsibility and a greater say in how we do things.
