In this month’s edition of our ‘Behind the Teams’ series, we spoke to Dave Bradley. 

Dave is a member of our Print team, working as a Finishing Team Leader. 

We chatted to Dave to find out a little more about his role at Springfield and how it has evolved over the years! 

Tell us about your role and your history at Springfield!  

I started working at Springfield over 20 years ago now, starting as a labourer. Having never been in a factory environment before, it was a bit of a shock!  

After around a year in my role as a labourer sweeping floors and emptying bins, I progressed up to working in the print department as a rewinder/print finisher. 

A couple of years later, I began working in the newly created sheet area operating a multitude of machines including the Heidelberg Cylinder (pictured above).  

I was then asked to become a Team Leader of the finishing department, which is my current role. I work with a great team who smash it every week!! 

Walk us through a typical day in your role!   

My typical day to day in my role as a Finishing Team Leader involves:  

• Looking after the rewind schedule 
• Making sure the right job fits the right machine 
• Keeping up to date with all sheet work that comes through
