Andrew Burdett started his Visy journey in 1994 and is still going strong, enjoying the variety that Visy has to offer. As the General Manager of Commercial and Industrial Sales at Visy Recycling, he leads a team that provides customised recycling solutions to businesses of all sizes.
This includes everything from providing specialist bins tailored to customer operations to rapidly scaling services up or down in response to emergencies like the Lismore floods in 2022 or during peak retail periods like Christmas.
In addition to his role managing commercial and industrial sales, Andrew is also involved in Visy's extensive fibre supply chain operation. Managing incoming paper and cardboard from multiple sources, he plays a critical role in ensuring the delivery of 1.4 million tonnes of high-quality fibre to Visy's recycled paper mills across the country.
In his time at Visy, Andrew’s had the opportunity to work across key projects like establishing Visy’s recycling operations in South Australia and growing our commercial and industrial business from 40,000 tonnes per year to 180,000 tonnes following the construction of our Gibson Island Paper Mill.
Describing the team spirit at Visy Recycling, Andrew says, "I truly enjoy the people I work with. We're a close-knit group that supports one another. It's inspiring to work alongside like-minded individuals - we achieve great things together, and we find ways to have fun along the way.”
If you’re thinking about a career at Visy, his advice is clear: "Visy is a diverse organization with abundant opportunities for growth. If you're prepared to roll up your sleeves and embrace challenges, you'll find a supportive environment here. Our work in recycling and remanufacturing is impactful and being part of that is truly rewarding."
