Jodie joined our team on the 25th September and is responsible at Kortec for all things financial - budgeting, forecasting and developing strong ongoing relationships with our external partners, and supplying the leadership team with all required information on an accurate and timely basis
Back in July we updated you about our new long-term strategy structure – PEAK. As we’ve now completed a full quarter since then we wanted to share some of the key successes achieved through this!
Great progress and we’re confident we’ve now got a strong process to keep it going!
As we grow, we want to ensure that we are staying ahead of the market, by maximising our team’s knowledge about processes involved within the industry and our products. To achieve that, we have setup a training programme for them to cover the following:
We’ve just run the first module, with great engagement and feedback – thanks to Paul for running an excellent session!
As Kortec grows there’s constantly new positions opening up, and we love it when we can fill these with internal promotions!
We’re pleased to announce two moves:
Luke Tompkins will be moving from Head of Operations to Chief Operating Officer – he will be taking on responsibility for most of the office team as well as the operations department, plus a much deeper involvement in the financial and strategic running of the business.
Richard Thomas will step up from Operations Supervisor to fill the Head of Operations role, taking on full responsibility for the department from Luke.
The handovers will be taking place through Q4 to be fully complete in time for 2024 – congratulations to Luke and Richard!
Our apprentice Ben has now officially been with us for a year - it’s been great to watch you grow within your role and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for you at Kortec!
Congratulations to all our Heroes for this month!
As mentioned in the last issue of our newsletter we run a team recognition platform called Motivosity to thank and reward our team. From this platform each month the top scorers for each of our four values (Respect, Innovation, Dynamism and Expertise) win a Hero prize including a gift card!
We would like to take the time to congratulate August’s winners (the Innovation prize was not awarded this time):
Looking back on some of our recent LinkedIn updates:
P3X - How do Kortec improve the Profitability of coating systems?
Typically this is achieved with a combination of three methods;
1. reducing the coating cost per unit (not necessarily the coating price per litre!)
2. minimising the labour cost per unit (possibly preparation or application, or both)
3. increasing handling/production speed, allowing greater throughput and therefore increased potential profit generation per day for the same fixed cost amount
That makes it sound very simple, and in principle it is - but it requires in-depth analysis, significant expertise and market-leading products to achieve. Good products can be applied in thinner or a lower of coats, can tolerate more efficient preparation methods and can be dried a lot faster than the norm - as long as you know the limits of what is possible and how to get the best results.
This is why we continually develop both our range of high-quality products and the skills/experience of our team, so we can produce genuine profitability results for you!
