Dr Christina McMinn
Originally from Connah’s Quay, I am an ex pupil of Golftyn CP and Ysgol Maes Garmon. Leaving school at 16, I studied part time at Deeside College gaining a BTEC in Physical Sciences. Encouraged by my physics lecturer I returned to full time education obtaining a first-class honours degree in Applied Chemistry and a PHD in Theoretical Physical Chemistry from Liverpool Polytechnic (which became John Moors University).
I have taken an unconventional career path through a combination of vocational training and academic education. My love of Chemistry, Statistics and Process Engineering has provided me with a varied and interesting career working in diverse industries including OEE Management Consulting, Tata Chemicals, Sellafield Ltd and the NHS.
I am the Operations Director for the Customer Communication Division of Communisis. Responsible for all inbound and outbound transactional mail and security printing on behalf of well knowns brands in financial services, insurance, utilities and public sector. With two large manufacturing sites in Liverpool and Halifax, a smaller site in Edinburgh and offices throughout the UK, c1500 colleagues work to produce 800m mail packs per annum.
