Branch Manager, Kamo

“I originally started in the metal recycling industry with Kamo Scrap Metals back as a youngster on the ground floor. I worked with Kamo Scrap Metals for 10 years who then joined Phoenix Metalman Recyclers. Myself and some of the team who I first started working with are still here and have kept growing and evolving alongside Phoenix ever since. I am now managing the yard I started in and am very proud to be such a major contributor to the recycling efforts in New Zealand.”

Business Development

“I started in the industry in 2013, working as a weighbridge operator. From there I’ve done a wide range of roles from loading containers, operating the container hoist, material handler…I’ve moved in and out of the Phoenix business but wanted to be involved again when I heard of exciting things happening. From being a 2IC, then Branch Manager and Regional Manager for the Lower North Island, I’m now in business development. I enjoy working for Phoenix because you never know what is going to come through the gate, and it is fun solving how we will deal with unfamiliar or difficult material.”

Office Administrator, Dunedin

“I have worked in the metal recycling business for 10 years and started with Phoenix in 2022. I appreciate the helpful and encouraging team I work with and thoroughly enjoy my role in the Phoenix family and educating the public on recycling. When we throw anything away it must go somewhere. When you put the whole picture together, recycling is the right thing to do.”
