QESH Co-ordinator and Lead Accessibility Ambassador GB, Coca-Cola Europacific Partners
Growing up in a wheelchair has always set challenges in front of me, but I always overcome them! After searching for a Job/Career for many years, I found myself working at Coca-Cola Europacific Partners(CCEP). Having always loved the brand Coca-Cola, I didn’t think that one day I’d be working for them.
I started off as a Grocery Merchandiser, supporting retailers with everything they needed to keep their customers happy. After tremendous support from CCEP, I was able to showcase that a wheelchair user can be a merchandiser and be successful by achieving one of the highest availability and revenue growth within GB.
In 2022 I joined the supply chain team as an apprentice Quality, Environment, Safety and Health (QESH) Co-ordinator, after successfully completing in Jan 2024, I am now a qualified health & safety officer, bringing in a unique perspective to a field that sometimes holds back people with disabilities and helped to create one of the first wheelchair accessible manufacturing sites in GB with more to come.
Now, a QESH Coordinator Projects and The Lead Accessibility Ambassador for CCEP GB, I look at ways to enable our colleagues with a disability be themselves, and support CCEP GB in becoming a more diverse & inclusive business, through various projects such as accessibility softwares offered to our colleagues, to implementing supported internships.
