He will manage all aspects of site D operations including all current and new production, production planning, procurement, scheduling and manufacturing engineering. Challenges and goals include, implementing a ‘Continuous Improvement’ methodology throughout the business, developing standardised processes and driving process improvement.

“I’m really looking forward to the challenge ahead, my primary focus will be to ensure projects are delivered ‘on-time’ & ‘on-budget’, whilst meeting the needs of our current customers and establishing relationships with new customers,” said Luby.

Outside of work, Luby enjoys spending time with his family, mountain biking and anything that involves the beach. (PC)
