I joined kp just over a year ago and was drawn to the organisation because of the opportunity it presented to me in terms of continuing to develop my career. I believe it’s important to have diverse representation at all levels of a high-functioning organisation, and that women need to be a part of the dialogue in how we build, shape, and grow our company – and what role the workplace plays in our lives in and out of work.

When I first started working at kp, I joined as an apprentice in the Customer Service Team. That was back in 2016 when I was fresh out of college with no real idea about what I wanted to do in the future.

I’ve always been passionate about addressing environmental and social challenges. I believe that businesses have a responsibility to operate in a way to maximise their positive contributions to the planet while minimising any negative impacts on the planet and society.

I’ve worked at kp for almost 12 years so far; I joined as an apprentice and honestly haven’t looked back.

Over my 26-year career at kp, I've tackled challenges, seized opportunities, and made significant strides, both personally and professionally. My journey began in 1998 when I joined KBF's slitting department. While I faced some personal challenges with managing work and single motherhood, kp provided a supportive environment in which I could grow.

Like the Loch Ness Monster and the theory that lightning never strikes the same place twice, there are common myths surrounding the circularity of PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) trays.

At kp, we're on a mission to debunk the myth that PET trays cannot contribute to circularity. We’re doing this through our innovative use of materials, our commitment to circular economy design principles, and our kp Tray2Tray^® initiative that rewrites the PET tray circularity rulebook.
