Avonmouth Asphalt has produced its one-millionth tonne, just five years on from the site’s opening in 2016.

I came to Wainwright in 2012, for a summer job in the lab. This turned into a full-time appointment when I finished school, and I then moved around the business. I worked as a Plant Operator in the quarry for a time, then completed an apprenticeship as a Quarry Operative.

I joined Wainwright straight from college as a Business Administration Apprentice. It was great, because I got to earn while I was working towards my Level Three qualification, grounding what I was learning in the real world.

I worked at Wainwright as a Surfacing Supervisor for six years near the start of my career. After a period away to build my CV, I returned in 2016 to the role of Surfacing General Manager.

I knew of Wainwright for a long time before joining in 2019 and always thought it seemed friendly, professional and ambitious. It’s more than lived up to that reputation.

I came into quarrying after quite a few years as a vehicle technician. I had friends in the quarrying industry and their work always sounded a lot more interesting and challenging than changing the oil filter on a car.

I joined Wainwright in 2021 after completing my Masters in Global Sustainability Solutions at Exeter University. I hadn’t heard of Wainwright before, but I was excited to join a local company with such a commitment to the planet and its people.
