A Day In My Life
Nippon Paint has such a broad depth and breadth of things that we do.
I face new challenges every day, and work with all departments to solve them.
Automotive paint is always evolving so there’s always something new and exciting to become involved in, such as paint that changes colour, sparkles depending on the light source and viewing angle.
My advice
We should always be curious, innovative and always look at new concepts even if it means challenging the status quo along the way.
Within the automotive industry it is always evolving so we must always be at the forefront of change and embrace it, and that’s what drives me!
