Workshop Quality Control Team
 

With over 300 vehicles being shipped by TGS every month, the need for quality control inside the workshops is very clear. TGS is now spending an average of 12 hours of workshop time on every vehicle as the demand increases for vehicles which are ready to be deployed from the very first day of their arrival in country.

Quality is ensured by our extremely busy team of workshop and service controllers. Not only are they checking that workmanship meets all quality criteria, they are also closely involved with the establishment and improvement of fitting procedures which ensures that the same job is done to the same high standard throughout our workshops time and time again.

We know from our contacts with customers that our workshop capability is one of the key measures of customer service – the quality of our workshops is achieved through great teamwork and the application of high standards.
Team members
 

Michael Mauro
Assistant Sevice Manager

Michael joined the company in 2005 after completing 22 years service with the Royal Gibraltar Regiment as a Warrant Officer. His organisational skills and experience with the mechanics and 4WD vehicles have proven particularly useful.

As an Assistant Service Manager he plans and organises the daily tasks of all 4 TGS workshops and the pre-delivery inspection.

Ian Gomez
Workshop Controller

Ian has been with TGS just over 3 years.
He is the Workshop Controller at workshop 4, and looks after a team of 10 mechanics. He liaises directly with the Assistant Service Manager and keeps a close eye on the monthly productivity figures for all workshops. He helps to ensure that all vehicles meet their tight preparation deadlines. This involves coordinating the delivery of all vehicle options, accessories and spares before the mechanics receives the vehicle, so that there are no delays when the vehicles come through the workshop. Ian and his team of 10 at workshop 4 are well aware of the crucial part that teamwork plays in their everyday working environment - without teamwork the careful preparation of vehicles with extremely demanding deadlines would not be possible.

In his spare time Ian enjoys swimming, water-polo and collecting pin badges.
