PAUL ENOCH Production Manager
S&G is unique because it is a family owned and run business. This definitely gives the staff working for S&G a sense of family and community, which gives them pride in the company and the work we produce. The second factor is our ongoing and continued investments in state of the art up to date machinery. Ever since I started at S&G we have always replaced all our kit after set time periods and always provided our staff with the latest technology from plate-setters to presses and stitching lines to mailing lines to enable them to produce the standard of workmanship our clients demand.
The training offered by S&G is now and always has been first class, with prospective apprentices given a six week tour of the plant before settling into more hands on training in their chosen role. From a personal point of view I had a four year apprenticeship in planning when I joined, and when I moved into sales and management I was also given both internal and external training on an ongoing basis.
My biggest ambition was realised in 2010 when I became a Director of the Company, a very proud day for me. As for the company our ambition is to continue to grow whilst still offering the quality and service we have become renowned for, but not forgetting who we are and where we have come from.
My employment at S&G started back in August 1988 as a young skinny teenager with attitude. My level of maturity soon changed in-line with my personal vision of where I wanted to be moving forward
Over the years I have gained valuable experience throughout all areas of print production. Starting firstly in plan–up and then onto the bindery, where I spent 4 months on secondment. This time spent was both valuable and rewarding giving me a complete overview of the entire finishing operation – from folding, binding, stitching and mailing.
I returned shortly after to print production where I have remained ever since. I thoroughly enjoy the commercial and magazine set up with commercial giving a variety of specifications from basic single colour print – spot colour mixes with die- cutting, foiling and lamination.
I thrive on being part of an interesting management team where the true “teamwork” ethic is paramount to the success of the S&G brand. I remain assertive with plenty of ambition and strive towards further development and personal goals. I enjoy a challenge and remain proud of the end result.
Having been with S&G for 23 years I have witnessed many changes, typical
of print one would say. My personal praise goes out to Andrew Jones for continuing investment in both people and technology which has enabled us to stay ahead of the competition with a real passion for success. It’s very much a family feel at S&G where everything and everyone’s point of view counts.
My training has been both interesting and thorough. There is complete respect for each and every function within S&G. People are an investment not a hindrance. The current senior management team is testament to the efforts and control over the years with both internal and external training programmes coming to fruition with over 100 years of combined service.
My long term vision at S&G is to become Production Director having gained all the necessary knowledge within the organisation and therefore demonstrate key attributes for success in this arena.
I have been married to Helen for nearly 17 years with three children resulting in a busy lifestyle with plenty of taxi service.
I am a firm believer of work hard and play hard. No gain is achieved without true effort. I hope I can enjoy many more years of employment at S&G and achieve further goals in the future.
