Meet our People
I started my placement with RiverRidge in June 2024, and have gained invaluable hands-on experience in both environmental and health and safety practices within the industry.
Being part of the RiverRidge team means I’m constantly learning, evolving and gaining insight into both current operations and future ambitions.
Every day is a learning opportunity. I began my apprenticeship with RiverRidge in November 2024 and it has been a fantastic experience allowing me to work in different areas of the company and develop hands-on skills.
No day is ever the same. I have had many opportunities for personal and professional growth, building strong working relationships with a great team of people throughout the group.
