CTR - Key Persons
Job Titles:
- Chief People Officer, Uttoxeter
I joined the organisation in 2021, coming from a background in luxury and premium fashion brands like Belstaff. The CTR Group has always been full of mavericks and some of my work is around keeping that sensibility and hunger, while helping the business align with its future aspirations. It's enjoyed huge growth over the last eight years and so I work with the business to make sure that our people and processes match up.
Job Titles:
- Office Manager, Uttoxeter
I came to the CTR Group in 2017, and I was looking for a company where I would be part of a team and feel I could make a contribution. I enjoy that no two days are the same and I love the people that I work with because we all muck in together. It's fast paced and you have to get stuck in, which I like as the day flies! It's a rewarding job in many ways, and I do feel that what I do makes a difference which is satisfying.
Job Titles:
- Charity Partnership Manager South, Erith
I've been working for CTR Group since June 2020, when the company I was working for was taken over by CTR. I like to think CTR inherited me! I've really enjoyed working for them over the last few years. My role is to liaise with our charity partners, manage those relationships and make sure they're getting what they need from our drivers and collections.
Job Titles:
- Transport Manager, Uttoxeter
I've worked for CTR Group for almost ten years. My job is to coordinate our team and plan routes for all our collections fleet. That means I'm responsible for everything from keeping our vans in good condition on the road, to making sure our drivers are engaged and happy, and that the shops we're collecting from are getting the service they need from us. When I started for CTR I was in the warehouse loading the trucks, and then I became a driver for several years. It meant that when I moved into this role I knew all the people, stores and cities - and that really helps.
Job Titles:
- People Operations Executive, Uttoxeter
My role is to find and recruit new people to work here. I've worked here more than two years ago but I started in this role quite recently. I make sure people are happy and settled here. Anyone having issues can talk to me and I can try to help. I deal with issues like employee absences and making sure that all our people are being looked after.
We're a fast-growing business, so most days I'm interviewing new people to see if they have the kind of qualities we're looking for. If they're successful then I need to prep their contracts, and plan and deliver their inductions once they start with us. When they get here I show them around so they know where everything is, and make sure they understand what they're going to be doing.
The people here are very friendly, I only have good things to say about them! It's definitely the place for me because I have the chance to progress. It's a good place, if you work hard there's lots of benefits.
Job Titles:
- Key Account Manager / IMS Manager
I have worked for the CTR Group for about five and a half years. I make sure our clients have a smart, environmentally-friendly solution for the disposal and recycling of their corporate waste. Everything from printer cartridges to laptops get collected and then we make sure they're recycled, reused or repurposed where possible.
On a day-to-day basis I'm in constant touch with our customers to make sure we have collections and deliveries booked. I'm also talking to potential new customers and providing them with quotes and information. I ensure all environmental documentation and reports are up to date for the Environment Agency and ISO audits.
What I like about working for CTR is that no two days feel the same, and I get to work with some great people. I feel like I am making a difference by making sure products that are no longer needed don't otherwise end up in landfill, and I love being part of an exciting and fast-moving company who are leaders in their field.
I joined CTR Group in 2021, having lived in New York City for five years and then London, before coming back home to Leicestershire. I was previously working in intimate apparel and fashion, and from my experience in these industries I noticed a constant need for environmentally-friendly solutions, so when I came across CTR Group I was excited and refreshed by the company's sustainability ethos.
