David Croxford

Group Supply Manager David Croxford joined Cornelius all the way back in August 2000 immediately after completing his A Levels. When asked about why he likes working for Cornelius, David expressed his admiration for the culture and people employed at the company, as well as the everyday challenges his role presents.

Due to the nature of his role, David is closely involved with operational teams in both the UK and Poland. He works identifying opportunities to continuously improve and manage the increasingly dynamic supply chain in order to meet the needs of customers and the high expectations they are accustomed to when supplied by Cornelius.

Outside of his working hours, David likes to make the most of his free time socialising with his friends and family.

Amber Prince

Amber joined Cornelius in 2013 and is a Principal Relationship Executive. Her role involves working with our key principals on a day-to-day basis, aiming to build stronger relationships that help both the supplier and Cornelius to operate efficiently. Before joining the company, Amber studied at sixth form and worked at her local supermarket to support herself through her studies. During this period, Amber was gaining work experience with Cornelius and enjoyed it so much she decided to stay! Speaking about what it’s like to work for Cornelius, Amber cited the amazing people that are always willing to lend a hand and help employees transition through the company.

A typical day at Cornelius is very varied for Amber due to the nature of her role. This means she can be requesting pricing, technical support or researching current trends in the market.

Outside of work, Amber likes to spend most of her time seeing friends and family.

James Abbotson

Principal Management Team member James is celebrating his 10-year anniversary at Cornelius after joining the company in the summer of 2010. Before joining Cornelius, James gained a wealth of valuable knowledge working for an aviation engineering company, experience he continues to put to successful use today.

Handling Cornelius Principals in the Performance Chemicals sector means James spends a lot of time undertaking a variety of jobs, while the breadth of his role means his working day tends to vary with no two ever being the same. James believes Cornelius is an incredibly supportive and understanding company and one that has encouraged and enabled him to continually develop his skills.

James likes to expand his knowledge base and in his spare time is currently undertaking a degree in Business Management and International Development through the Open University. A keen football fan, he is an Arsenal season ticket holder.
