Meet Guy Miller!
Guy is our newest team member and is joining us as our Special Projects Manager. We caught up with him to see how the first three months have been:
It is a pleasure to have the opportunity to join the AVT team. The first three months have flown by, and I have enjoyed getting to know everyone and understanding the AVT business.
I was given a great opportunity to join the AVT team in June 2024 as the Special Projects Manager, and this is my first direct experience in the heating and ventilation industry. I have a wealth of experience in leadership, engineering, process improvement, and managing change through CI and Lean Six Sigma.
A bit of background on myself: during my career, I started as a manufacturing engineer in my early days, working my way up to operations leader in multiple different industries. I have had responsibility for many different business areas during my career, predominantly operations, engineering, design, facilities, quality, supply chain, health, and safety.
Starting in British Aerospace as an engineer after university, I then moved into Automotive for over 15 years as a senior manager working with customers including Toyota, Ford, BMW, and Audi. I then changed industries again into Medical Devices for a few years. followed by high-volume fixings and connecting devices into a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, medical, and marine. Next, I took charge of a site making bespoke high-end furniture, then moved to a company that supplies the NHS with a variety of equipment, including sheet metal and wooden products. Finally, before joining AVT, I managed a company making high-precision air bearings used in the manufacture of silicon wafers for chip manufacture and precision lens manufacture for optical industries.
Regarding the processes with which I am familiar, in addition to a variety of assembly processes, I have worked with sheet metal work, precision machining, grinding, chemical machining, metal treatment, powder coating, plastic injection moulding, cold forming, stamping, and electromechanical assembly, amongst other processes.
Outside of work, I have two Husky’s that keep me busy and a grown-up family. I enjoy cycling as my main hobby but also enjoy getting together after work socially.
I am looking forward to working with everyone at AVT and becoming involved in the great culture that I can see here.
