I am a qualified leather technician who upto recently spent twenty years living in South Africa. I am originally from the UK. I have extensive experience of processing ostrich leather as well as being qualified and experienced in production and quality management. I am looking for a suitable position in a tannery preferably working with ostrich and/or crodile leathers. The position could be permanent or short/long term contract. I would be interested in considering most Countries but I am particularly interested in Countries with sunny climates and open spaces.
I have also produced a basic training manual for the processing of ostrich leather although I have not been successful so far in getting it published. It is regard as too specialised with little demand.
Anyone interested in contacting me can do so on my e-mail address. If anyone is simply interested in saying hello or wants some simple advice please feel free to contact me.
