We're excited to bring you an insightful conversation with Victor Evans, Senior Contract Manager at Veolia, Camden
 
With years of experience under his belt, Victor has been at the forefront of navigating the complexities and challenges of the waste management industry.
 
In this interview, we delve into his journey, explore the unique aspects of his role, and discuss the importance of sustainability in shaping a greener future. Join us as we uncover the inner workings of a sector that plays a pivotal role in our daily lives…
 
Hi Victor, can you describe your current role as a senior contract manager at Veolia, Camden and what your key responsibilities are?
 
As the senior contract manager I am responsible for managing the relationship with the client, ensuring excellent service delivery, introducing innovative solutions, creating a safe and thriving work environment, and maintaining high standards of health and safety. All staff work hard to ensure our purpose of Ecological Transformation is at the heart of everything we do.
 
How does your experience in both local authorities and waste management companies influence your approach to managing contracts?
 
Working in a local authority requires you to be much more mindful of the political landscape, and working in the private sector requires you to be highly proactive. Understanding the expectations of your customer, be they the client or the local residents, and instilling a flexible working approach in your teams is vital for managing a contract successfully.
 
What are the main challenges you face in managing contracts for waste services in an area like Camden?
 
The biggest challenge is shifting the mindsets of people around waste segregation and minimisation. Providing innovative solutions to make it as easy as possible for customers to understand their role in waste management is a key aspect. Having a large fleet also brings challenges, particularly in central London where parking is limited.

Scott Mathieson 
 
Business Development Manager
meet the team
Scott Mathieson, Business Development Manager
 
We are thrilled to introduce you to Scott Mathieson, our dedicated Business Development Manager. Scott's, Scottish roots are as strong as his work ethic, and his approach to business development is as robust as the highlands themselves. Not only does he have a wealth of experience in the polythene industry, he’s also a talented musician with a passion for performing with his band.
 
We met with Scott to learn more about his interests and the changes he's noticed within the polythene industry…
 
You've worked in the polythene industry for years now. What got you into this field and what do you find most rewarding about your role as a Business Development Manager?
 
I started working in the packaging industry as an Internal Sales Contact in 2007. It was the first job I was offered when I moved to Norwich from Cambridge. From there I was promoted to a Field Sales Role within the first 6 months and enjoyed 6 successful years there. It felt like a natural progression to move into the manufacturing side of the industry and that's where I have been working ever since. It’s great to be able to help our customers find competitive and innovative ways to solve their packaging needs. 
 
With your experience in the industry, what changes or trends have you noticed over the years, and how have they impacted your approach to business development?
 
There has been much more of a focus on the environmental impact of packaging. Higher quality and innovative raw materials has enabled us to offer our customers more sustainable packaging options. 
 
Outside of work, you're a keen musician and part of a band. How did you get started with music, and what role does it play in your life?
 
From an early age I was always interested in music. I started playing the pots and pans until my parents gave in and got me a drum kit for Christmas. I also play the bass, acoustic guitar and sing (multi-instrumentalist)
 
What's something about you that the team might not know?
 
The less they know the better!
 
And finally, if you were stranded on a desert island and could only bring 3 albums with you, which ones would you choose and why?
 
Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik
The Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
 
I taught myself to play the guitar and bass by studying the tablature of the two albums above in my early teenage years before YouTube
 
Maybe also Jeff Buckley as he has a great voice. 
 
Thanks Scott! Looking for a quote, product information or a discussion on how to play the guitar? Get in touch with Scott below!
