Nicola Nye - Senior Warehouse operative and coordinator
Who are you and what is your job at Phoenix Contact?
My name is Nicola Nye, I am 41 years old and am a senior warehouse operative and coordinator (team leader) at Phoenix contact UK.
What is special about your job and why do you like doing it?
I have always liked doing my job here at Phoenix, it is never a chore to get up and come to work in the mornings like it has been in my previous jobs. Over the last few years I have gained a level of responsibility that I thrive from. We are a team of 12 and 5 of us are women, and all of us are as important as each other in our warehouse. Together with my team and support from management I believe I have the best job ever!
Being recognised for the hard work that I put into my job makes it all the more special, for example winning the green award for my efforts in 2022.
What are you doing in your role and private life to make life more sustainable?
We have many sustainable practises in place in the warehouse that all team members must follow. We introduced paper strapping for our pallets, along with paper heavy tape and paper packaging. We always reuse or recycle when possible.
At home I recycle everything I can. And use a composter for food waste.
What is still on your “bucket list”?
My bucket list is to tick off every race on the formula 1 calendar.
