This month, we talk to Leon Denton, our Operations Supervisor:

“I have been working for Ironsides Lubricants for 20 years now, first as a factory  worker, on the track, filling kegs and drums and now as Operations Supervisor for the past couple of years.

I manage a team of 6 people and we are in charge of filling up to 50 tonnes of product per week. We pack our grease products into 180kgs drums down to 3kgs kegs, all in various colours and materials.

Ironsides is able to offer a wide variety of packaging sizes and my role is to make sure that our customers’ orders are fulfilled on time. My current role also includes stock management in our SAP system, training and supervising new staff members as well as dealing with packaging suppliers. I recently finished my ILM Level 3 course in Leadership and Management which will hopefully allow me to further progress my career at Ironsides Lubricants. In my spare time I have started running again and will be joining the Ironsides running team at this year’s Manchester 10K !”

Meet our Export Sales Manager, Georgios Christoforatos.
Georgios is a highly qualified technical sales professional with a degree in Chemical Engineering from Loughborough University in the UK. He has extensive experience in the lubricants and grease industries, including marine, industrial and automotive. Georgios joined the Ironsides sales team in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic in April 2020 and is now challenged with the task of maintaining and developing our export sales customer base in the EU and ROW at a particularly difficult time for the UK.

“I am very happy and excited to have joined Ironsides Lubricants, a company with such long history in the lubricants market. Although our industry, like many others, has been severely disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and Brexit from Jan 2021, I will do my utmost to support our customers in Europe and the rest of the world. Having worked for many years in the lubricants industry, I am fully equipped to face the challenges ahead and to tackle the obstacles that Ironsides is facing, in order to  achieve the export sales targets that have been set as part of our business development plans. “
