co-ordinates with our sub-contractor kitchen installers & the designers. He is responsible for scheduling jobs and overseeing the manufacturing process, ordering all the various components for manufacture and he enters the specifications for each custom designed kitchen into a computer programme that links to the
machine used to cut out each job.
