About Mark Dymond:

 I have a career's worth of operations experience in many different sectors and so thought that you would be
interested in my application. 
I have become financially and commercially astute and I have honed my
skills of man management. I have developed process improvements and factory
modifications and been an instigator of strategic changes in the business’s I have
been involved with. I believe that I have the right interpersonal skills to enthuse and
bring people with me on the business journey. Cultural ideals of a business always have
intrigued me and I believe that I have good 'people' skills that can transfer between
board and workshop resulting in a working environment that can have fun and make
money.
I have expanded my depth of business knowledge over my career and now believe that
the experience I have makes me a genuine asset to any company and will allow me to
thrive in this new role. I believe that I have the correct attitude, aptitude and experience
to fulfil expectations and I thrive on the opportunity of driving business through solid
leadership.
