Our girls are thriving in the waste management industry

The girls at Tom White have been dominating the industry recently, find out more… 

At Tom White, we’re proud to have an incredible team of dedicated, hardworking, and inspiring women who play a vital role in everything we do. From operations to customer service, logistics to leadership, their contributions drive our material handler success every day.

This year’s International Women's Day theme is all about 'Inspiring Inclusion', reminding us to champion equality, break barriers, and empower women in every industry.

With this in mind, we’re very pleased to announce two new additions to our roster of trained material handler operators. In an industry that is typically dominated by men, Iwona and Natalia have given the guys some competition, by completing further training and development as pickers within the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF), and passing with flying colours.

What is a material handler? 

Material handlers are an important component of our industry, and are responsible for handling and moving merchandise around the premises. Material handler duties also include managing the shipping and receiving of materials within a facility. 

Having been trained to organise, understand inventory and quality control and much more, the girls thrived during their training process. As excellent pickers within the MRF, and now trained material handler operators, Iwona and Natalia are responsible for recovering materials to put back into products within the manufacturing industry. Helping us ensure better waste management for you, your community and the planet. 

At Tom White we put our people first by providing a diverse and nurturing work culture and investing in our people’s growth and development. We are looking forward to seeing the new operators in action within our facility.
