    There a a few things I would change:

    Where you have Gmp course "done" I would put completed.
    You were "responsible for" blending not "of".
    Manager of my Production room and Operator of the Blending Machine in a fast pace Production Room.
    Change the above to:
    I frequently assumed supervisory responsibilities for the Production Blending area in periods of holidays etc.
    Fully trained and competent in the use of the Blending Machine in a fast paced Production Environment.
    You were "Additionally trained and competent" not "Was also trained" in the powder area.
    Under the Chorus bit:
    You were "responsible for maintaining health and safety on site" not "responsible of safety".

    You don't have to put your date of birth on your CV.

    I'd just put a little more thought into your use of english, when I recruited staff a badly worded CV usually did not get an interview.

    Hope this helps.

    Maybe set out what your career objective is......e.g. you would like to work in a challenging (IT, Sales, Prod'n etc.) environment with a view to taking on more responsiblity once you've delivered initial results.

    Always try to show about performance and how you can add/improve things. To this throw your skills.....for each area of responsiblity link it back to a skill e.g. taking in orders means checkng off the delviery docket and reconciling with the PO etc.

    It may be no harm to have a dedicated space given over to your skills/attributes that show maybe four bullet points for Teamwork, Communication Skills, IT & Management. Give a little detail on each area specifying an example or speciifc skill that shows the attribute.

    Check out mindtools.com for the type of info and management language that you should be using.....the choice of words/vocabularly is important!

    Best of luck with it.

    Start with your employment history (latest job first). I'd remove the references and provide them when requested by an employer.

    And make sure that your font sizes are consistent. Check the bullet points, some are 10, others are 12.
