Sam Reynolds - Engineering Manager at BHK

Sam Reynolds started his career as Thomas Swan as an Electrical Maintenance Engineer, before moving to an automotive ball bearing manufacturer for 5 years, where he first got into management at an early age.
For the last 3 and half years Sam has worked for Peterlee-based BHK, a market leader for manufacturing drawers in the UK, and is currently their Engineering Manager.
He’s also been successful with his Music career and toured with some huge household names.
In this podcast, we delve into what it’s like to manage at such an early age, and how he simplifies management by understanding the fact that people are humans and you just need to communicate effectively.
There are some great tips here for younger managers who perhaps lack confidence and want to progress in their careers.
