He believes Kinder’s values are embedded in the way he and his colleagues approach every challenge.
“Just taking ownership of what I do every day and looking at solutions in a different way. Knowing if we don’t have an offthe-shelf solution, we have a team to help design a solution.”
For Anthony, this mindset reflects an environment where innovation is encouraged, and staff are empowered to find the best way forward.
Support and collaboration
Anthony highlights the strength of the team behind the scenes.
“Even though I am customer-facing, it’s great knowing I have a complete team backing me at head office that can help with any request I have from Engineering, Accounts, Warehouse to collaborating with other territory managers – everyone is there to back each other, it’s a whole team effort.”
This culture of collaboration ensures that staff on the frontline are supported, and customers receive the highest level of service.
Professional growth and development
Kinder has also provided Anthony with opportunities to build his skills and grow within his role.
“I’ve had the opportunity to do both internal and external courses to help me grow within my position.”
By investing in training and professional development, Kinder helps people thrive in their current roles while preparing them for future challenges.
Anthony’s journey offers valuable insight for anyone considering a career at Kinder, and his recommendation is clear.
“Kinder has a great management team that is always looking forward, so I definitely have no hesitation in recommending Kinder as a place of employment.”
