Rob Laker, Sales Support Engineer

Rob began his career with Tricel in 2018 aged 19 as an Internal Sales Apprentice having never held a role in a sales department He than went on & completed an apprenticeship in early 2020 and was given a permanent role as an Internal Sales Representative following this, handling more enquiries and growing in confidence. Rob undertook further formal training in 2021 in the shape of an Engineering Diploma. In early 2023 he was given an opportunity to progress to Sales Support Engineer. This role involved handling more advanced enquiries via two Business Development Managers and dealing with projects with greater complexity and technical challenges. 2025 has been another year of growth in terms of personal development for Rob in sales and knowledge/skills, but also in terms of supporting the team in Portsmouth/the Group as a whole. Rob now supports the Sales Team Leader with the day-to-day running of the Sales Team.

Career Journeys

Daniel Guerin, Warehouse Supervisor

In 2016, Daniel began his journey with Tricel as a summer student on the Press Floor. Recognizing his potential, Tricel welcomed him back the following year as a full-time General Operator, allowing him to gain valuable experience across multiple production departments, including the Press Floor, Environment, and Stores. In 2018 Tricel further supported Daniel’s professional growth when he was successfully accepted onto the Tricel apprenticeship programme which led to Daniel completing a degree in Manufacturing Engineering while continuing to gain his experience in the workplace. In 2023, Tricel continued to invest in Daniel’s development through a secondment to Tricel Weston as a Manufacturing Engineer to assist the Manufacturing Team. The secondment was originally planned for a 3-month period however this was extended to 20 months due to his contributions. During this time, he worked on various projects across production areas, provided significant support to the Tricel Weston team, and played a key role in driving substantial improvements within the factory. Daniel has now returned to Tricel Killarney to take up a management position as Warehouse Supervisor.
