Describe the main tasks you do in your job
I make sure that all the production machines that make our shoes are running to the best of their ability, so our shoes are finished to the highest quality.

It’s very important to make sure that all the components of the machines and moulds are in tip top shape. Without this the shoes wouldn’t fulfil our high standard.
