"I am curious and need to be continually learning and enjoy solving problems together with other people. I think that part is served by my Explorer and Investigator. I am organised and efficient and excited to support others to develop their careers. Coordinator’s elements of attention to detail and communicating certainly help with this."

"I lead a team that supports the assembly plant that manufactures A400M wings and works to continuously improve the design. I like being involved in a high tech industry that makes products that excites and interests everyone. I enjoy working with talented people in different areas of our business and continually learning from them. Bringing people together to find solutions to interesting technical challenges is rewarding for me. I started as a stress engineer analysing technical components and am now leading a team that is responsible for a whole wing, so progression is definitely possible."

"I started off wanting to be a Civil Engineer - inspired my dad who was a works manager for Sir Robert McAlpine and I was interested how buildings were constructed. However, having been to a few air shows I went to a WISE session at BAE in Filton and learnt that Aerospace Engineer was a degree subject. The rest is history!"

"Spending time with my family and pets. Trying to get fit - more ambition than reality."

"A typical day includes technical problem solving, managing people and budgets, working on the team strategy and planning workload. No one day is the same!"
