Spotlight on... Barry Kilburn - Shift team leader

I started working for Rudolph and Hellmann Automotive in 2011 when we were transferred over from ZF Lemforder and I hold the position of Team Leader at the Darlaston operation.

My key role as a shift team leader is to look after the day to day running of our logistics department including planning and preparing shipments for our customers, keeping a tight stock control, working to FIFO and ensuring the Heath and Safety of our team as they carry out their processes.

Born in County Durham, I moved down to the Midlands nine years ago. I am married to my wife Jayne and we have 5 beautiful daughters ages 31, 28, 15, 13, 6 and 2 granddaughters.

I have always been a keen footballer and referee, but as I am older now and can’t run as quick, I have turned my hand to golf. I am a keen member of the Halfpenny Green golf course, which I visit as often as I can.

My handicap is not my golf clubs but a steady 21 which is starting to come down.

Recently Rudolph and Hellmann Automotive supported me on a Golf Charity event which I was very pleased about because it was in aid of a very close friend and fellow club member. Thanks for the support.
