This is a new section where we will be introducing our program managers to you.

This month we talk with Stuart Shaw.

**What did you do before AMPC?**

My very first job was as an apprentice electrician back in Scotland. After moving to Australia I moved into engineering roles, and built special purpose machinery for the automotive industry.

I spent 17 years with Machinery Automation and Robotics (MAR) later called Scott Automation and Robotics, and that is when I entered the red meat industry as Red Meat Business Manager and Innovation manager.

I joined the Australian Meat Processor Corporation in the middle of last year as Program Manager – Advanced Manufacturing.

**What do you love most about your role at AMPC?**

The ability to keep going on the journey and serve industry to progress developments we have been working on for many years.

I love the fact that my role here helps me steer the red meat industry into the future. I enjoy being part of the bigger picture and looking at the industry as a whole.

Having started off in the automotive world, I never saw myself working in the meat industry. Throughout the years, working in the meat industry has really become a passion of mine to drive automation in this area. I will always be part of this journey.

**Who is your favourite sports team?**

The Glasgow Rangers of course! I live and breathe my football (soccer) and even after having lived in Australia for 33 years, it’s still the first thing I check on in the morning after the kids and dog.

**Tell us something about yourself we wouldn’t know?**

I am an electrician by trade and love rollercoasters.

**Where do you see red meat processing in 10 years?**

I definitely see the industry absorbing and taking on new technologies at an improved rate and hopefully seeing the benefits from technology adoption.

**Pineapple on pizza?**

I would never order it, but will eat it – if it’s all we have.
