Key Management
Chris Elkins
Business Operations Director
Chris first joined Apollo in 1989 as Chief Accountant, a
position he held for eight years. After a period working for a
manufacturer of consumer durable goods in Havant, he returned to
Apollo in 1998 as Materials Manager and in 1999, took over from the
previous Manufacturing Director as Operations Director.
In June 2007 his career took another direction
when he took on the newly created position of Business Operations
Director with the primary objective of overseeing the regeneration
of our business processes - an initiative launched in April 2008 as
the Apollo Lean Enterprise Programme. To assist in this objective
he now has board responsibility for the core infrastructure areas
of HR, Quality, IT and Conformance.
The lean enterprise initiative is an exciting new phase in
Apollo's ongoing success story. Bringing together these core
business functions will allow us to readily align our people and
organisational development plans. Our key focus is to make doing
business with Apollo as easy as possible for all of our business
partners.
