Nathan Palmer - Product Development Technician

Why did you choose to work with Vapormatic?

I was impressed by the business model and the possibility for expansion for the business.  As a result I felt Vapormatic offered me a good career opportunity and stability for my family and me.

Could you describe one of your current projects?

I have just delivered the new 2010 John Deere catalogue update which resulted in an approximate 50% increase from the old range.  I am now helping deliver the next series of tractor catalogue and helping with some internal projects.

What is your occupational history?

Before joining Vapormatic I had two short careers.  I spent 5 years in the outdoor leisure industry and then after finishing a degree in countryside conservation I ran my own business for 4 years concentrating on conservation and landscape gardening.

Which product are you responsible for?

When I joined Vapormatic I was given our accessories portfolio.  Recently I passed these on to a colleague and took responsibility for the John Deere Tractor portfolio and catalogue production.

Of which possibilities of development have you personally taken advantage?

John Deere provides access to a diverse online learning opportunity.  I have accessed and completed some of these courses which are helping me in my day to day job and my career development.  I will be starting my studies with the CIPS which will give me a nationally recognised qualification.

How long have you been working for Vapormatic?

I have been with Vapormatic since June 2007.
