'When I joined Sims through the graduate program, I knew very little about the scrap metal industry. What attracted me was the opportunity to work in a global business and have a real impact. Since then, I've worked across operations, commercial and international trading roles, lived in multiple countries, and met some incredible people along the way. It's a lot of fun, it's challenging, and no two days are the same. What I enjoy most is working alongside industry experts to solve problems and continuously learn in a business that's making a difference around the world'.
