Chevonne Irving – Technical Specialist, Paper & Packaging
Tell us about a typical day in your role at James Cropper.
I have a number of different projects on the go at any one time, some technology and innovation related which tend to be the ‘blue-sky’ projects; and then some which are specific to paper research and development. All projects are at different stages, so every day I spend varying amounts of time on each, depending on priority.
The Graduate Scheme which I am on has a number of training courses, so some of my time is spent working through assignments.
I always finish my day by checking my emails one last time and looking at my calendar and to-do list for the next day: there’s something distinctly satisfying about being able to cross things off, but more often than not I add at least as much to it as I take away!
