Food waste disposer expert InSinkErator UK is starting the year by celebrating two of its longest serving team members, who now have a collective 32 years of experience at the company.
Triin Tiitson, Inventory & Logistics manager, and Caroline St Denis, Customer Accounts Supervisor, have operated as part of an InSinkErator UK team which prides itself on its expertise and longevity, with the overall average length of service equating to 10 years at the company for the current team.
It was Triin who interviewed Caroline, all the way back in 2010, not knowing at the time that they’d work closely together during such a pivotal period and become part of a longstanding group of employees who have helped build the business across the UK. In fact, when it comes to years of service, the pair are surpassed only by UK MD, Ashley Munden (39 years), and Martin Green, Key Account Manager (23 years).
Triin has spent 18 years at the company, joining in 2008 and moving from a sales administration position to Customer Accounts Supervisor, and then onto her current role as Inventory & Logistics Manager. Throughout this time, she has seen the business accelerate and change, taking part in everything from product launches to system changes, office moves and new projects.
Triin comments: “It’s been an amazing journey so far, being part of the InSinkErator UK team. The company has experienced steady growth across the 18 years I have been here, and I am lucky to have been given opportunities to broaden my responsibilities, learning new skills and taking leadership courses during that time. I’m also fortunate to be involved in the strategic planning of the company and part of the management team.
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Caroline and many other talented colleagues locally and across the globe, who have supported me professionally and personally. My team consists of hardworking people who give their dedication and time for the company. Without their experience and support I would not be able to do my job as successfully and I appreciate every one of them.”
Caroline St Denis joined InSinkErator just two years after Triin in 2010 and the duo worked very closely together in those early days.
She adds: “I started as an Administration Assistant, joining Triin, who at the time was the only other member of that team. Over the years I’ve gained an enormous amount of experience and knowledge, becoming supervisor several years ago, and seeing the sales administration team expand to five.
“InSinkErator UK has grown so much over the past 16 years, with the team expanding from around six people when I started to more than 20 today. We benefit from the stability of a large parent company, while our smaller UK team allows us to avoid the impersonal feel often associated with larger companies. My colleagues have always been supportive and, when needed, good listeners!”
Caroline continues: “Triin and I know each other so well and it’s been great to share in this journey together. I enjoy my work, the variety and the challenges, and I think InSinkErator has the right balance of working from home and office working. I’m looking forward to the future and to playing my role in it.”
