Technical expert Raj Kumar (pictured) is celebrating three decades of electroplating and specialist surface coatings with the
Anochrome Group — and is looking forward to taking on new responsibilities this year.
Mr Kumar, from Oldbury, has worked in various roles since joining the business days after the UK’s first National Lottery draw in 1994, including quality control, supervisor and works/production manager. He is currently technical sales manager at Walsall-based Anochrome Ltd, offering first-class specialist advice to customers across the UK and further afield.
This year will also see Mr Kumar taking to the road for more regular face-to-face meetings with customers. He said: “I cannot believe it has been 30 years since I first started with the Anochrome Group. It has been, predominantly, a very enjoyable career, which has seen me progress through the ranks.
“I have acquired a lot of technical knowledge during that time, so I enjoy fielding questions and queries from customers and coming up with solutions to their problems. As part of the senior team, I also assist throughout the company with quoting, pricing, planning, H&S, environmental, and quality to name a few.”
He concluded: “This year I am looking forward to getting out on the road a lot more to meet both existing and new customers. Working for one company for so many years, you need to be able to get on with the people you work with on a daily basis. Both past and present, the management team have supported me in my progression.”
