As a child I watched Carmichael fire trucks being built over my back fence, joining the company 28 years ago as a welder-fitter on the factory floor. Since then I have worked my way through various roles to become head of the commercial team. Over that time I have seen a lot of changes and I’m excited about what the next chapter has instore for CSS and its customers.”
