The person

You love a tidy system, but you know it only works if people actually use it. You spot the gaps, fix them before an auditor does, and explain what's needed in plain English so it makes sense to everyone from site to board. You can engage and encourage site teams to follow best practice, as well as demonstrate quality, environmental and safety performance and improvements at board level. You are positive, organised and easy to work with, and you see audits as a way to help people get it right, not to catch them out.
