Chris Sheppard, Group CEO at EMR, said: “To achieve Great Place To Work® certification for three consecutive years is a fantastic milestone. This recognition demonstrates the value of listening to our people and investing in a culture where safety, opportunity and purpose go hand in hand.”
For EMR, purpose is central to the employee experience. Every colleague contributes directly to the circular economy - giving materials new life, reducing waste and helping to protect the planet for future generations.
The Great Place To Work® framework provides EMR with a consistent, independent way to hear from colleagues across the business. These insights have enabled the company to set meaningful goals, strengthen trust and create a workplace where people feel empowered to thrive.
“This recognition is especially important because it comes directly from our people,” added Chris. “Their feedback is helping to shape the future of EMR, and we’ll continue to listen, learn and build on this success as we grow.”
Chrissy Bunting, Account Manager:
“Working at EMR has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The company truly values its people, fostering a culture of respect, collaboration, and continuous learning.
“From day one, I’ve felt supported by approachable leadership and motivated by talented colleagues who share the same passion for excellence. EMR invests in professional growth through training and opportunities to take on exciting challenges.
“There’s a strong sense of purpose here, knowing our work makes a positive impact on customers, communities, and the environment. The inclusive, forward-thinking atmosphere makes every day engaging. EMR isn’t just a workplace—it’s a place to build a meaningful career.”
Sarah Choi, Business Analyst:
"My time at EMR has been incredibly rewarding, both professionally and personally. Over the course of four years, I’ve had the opportunity to grow from a Commercial Administrator into a Business Analyst — a progression that reflects not only the support and encouragement I received, but also the dynamic environment EMR provides.
“This role allowed me to learn about the metal recycling business from the ground up, and to develop skills I never imagined I’d acquire — from contract management, data analysis to strategic thinking.
“The opportunity to work at EMR with great colleagues has boosted my confidence in tackling my work, especially when it comes to facing various challenges."
Dean Chasse
“I was really nervous to come work for a company this large, as I spent over 17 years at my previous company where I knew every employee by name. Since the moment I stepped foot in the door everyone has been so welcoming. The company works with its employees as a team and really supports your personal and professional growth. It has been a blessing to work for such a great company and I am really looking forward to a continued career with EMR. This place is truly a Great Place to Work!”
