Rob Hanks

As a fully qualified and experienced business improvement (Lean) practitioner, I have worked successfully for international and national organisations, in both manufacturing and service sectors. I apply real-time best practice models and achieve business improvement momentum by enabling (people), resulting in significant repeatable performance gains. In this role as Sealy NZ's Factory (Operations) Manager (working for Sealy General Manager Glenn Wahlstrom and Sealy Australasia owner Simon Dyer), the Sealy manufacturing operation is measurably the very best New Zealand bedding manufacturer in all respects, including cost, quality and performance. In 2013 Sealy was publically awarded NZ's Training Company of the year by leading Industry training Organisation "Competenz".
