THE QLS TEAM
Kate Patel
Managing Director
"I joined the QLS family in 2011 after several years in various management roles outside of the automotive industry. After 18 months in the administration office I moved over to the Operational side of the business as the Operations Manager.
In 2017 I joined the board as Operations Director and in 2018 my role was expanded to include the oversight of the administration and Finance office. After a couple of years running the day to day business, I took 100% ownership of the business on 30th September 2020."
Ray Jones

"I Joined QLS in 2016 as a shift Team Leader working at Ellesmere Port quickly being promoted to Site Coordinator then on to Operations Manager. I really enjoy the day to day work load, building customer relations and working closely with my team."
Adam Daly
Operations Manager (South)
"I started at QLS in 2014 and along with colleague Ray Jones, I share the Management duties for QLS's UK Operations. Working for QLS is sometimes a challenge but always interesting, no two days are ever the same."

"Old man of the team!
Joined QLS back in 2003. I'm from an Electrical Engineering background and have seen, over the years, almost every problem a combination of Engineer + laptop can produce. I like my cycling and a very occasional sail on the Norfolk Broads."
