As Interim Manager for a business assembling highly engineered capital equipment, I relocated automotive end-of-line dynamometers production from a closing plant in Germany to the receiving site in the UK.

I specified, contracted and managed factory redevelopment at the receiving site including lifting, logistics, power, paint, environment, etc.
