    … boohoo I spent nearly 8 years of my work life there

    What work did you do at Holden?

     

    pretty much most things.. admin/office/finance wise

    I worked in the foundry/fettling areas working out how much good stuff they made daily
    I was the inventory controller in the Supply department, I ran the VAP vehicle costing department
    (which worked out what/where and the cost of what was spat out to traffic from each VAP daily)

    .. thru to ‘New Models’ where I worked with the engineers at Lang Lang and FB on breakpoints for new parts introduction as well as new models as well as stuff like involvement and support with the introduction of Brocks HDT Commodores

    As I said, lots of things…  B-)

    Has anyone got front and rear tow hooks fitted for CAMS track days? Trying to work out a neat way of fitting it to the VS.

     

    I use a nylon tow strap at the front (available most motorsport places) which is bolted to a chassis bolt ( that also is where the front bumper bolts to) and on the back a steel CAMS hook that goes thru the bumper and is bolted thru the rear chassis rail. Looks like this..

    .. what do I do?

    well after getting 96% for accounting in high school
    (and 90 for Economics, 51 for English but failed maths and physics in Year12)
    I thought I would be an accountant :yahoo:

    Then after 2 Uni degrees (Business and IT) and 40 years of working in finance for real businesses (ya.. know places that MAKE THINGS!  …like GMH, Cadburys, Dunlop)  I now work for a medium sized Australian owned business (500 employees etc)  making a large range of water control devices. I am in charge of the administration of the 8 ! factories in Australia (3 in Qld and 5 in Victoria). Funny thing is I don’t do much actual accounting these days ( as I work alongside theNational Operations Director)

    I don’t have a job title (my business card just has my name and contact details) and I don’t have a job description.

    I work for the Finance Director who has told me my job is (just 3 words) – MAKE IT HAPPEN  :good:
