Shaun Furness

Nuclear Waste Services

I am currently a Technical Co-ordinator, primarily working with our Unit4 ERP system. I started working for LLW Repository Ltd. in 2011 as a management accountant within the finance function and, with this background knowledge, I was asked to join the project team tasked with implementing a new ERP system. We migrated from SAP to Business World On!, as it was called in 2018 when we went live. Once live, I applied for and was offered my current role, where I help with day-to-day issues, questions and queries, raise and manage issues with Unit4 where required and consider and act on ways to continuously improve our ERP system.

Currently, we are using ERP7, ERP financials including Timesheets, Expenses and absences experience packs and we have started implementing the mobile applications associated with this functionality.

Prior to working at Nuclear Waste Services and LLW Repository Ltd, I worked at Sellafield Ltd, Eddie Stobart, Cumbria Newspapers and Alcan Packaging, where I was involved in an SAP implementation at the turn of the century.

I am football coach for a youth grassroots football team, Workington Juniors FC, as well an avid Liverpool FC fan. I enjoy watching live music (love Kasabian), listening to music (R.E.M. are my faves) and try to keep fit as an occasional runner, although I always hated cross country at school!
