As part of Russell’s role, she will handle the company’s confidential waste service that it provides to financial institutions, government departments, pharmaceutical companies and commercial organisations across the UK.
Before joining Smurfit Kappa Security Shredding, Russell worked in the sales and finance departments of Mondi Packaging Diss, a corrugated box plant in Norfolk, which was acquired by the Smurfit Kappa Group in May 2010.
Prior to that, she was sales administration manager for Permadoor, and operations and personnel manager for fire and security company, Advance Peripheral Systems Ltd.
Accredited to the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) and the United Kingdom Security Shredding Association (UKSSA), Smurfit Kappa Security Shredding destroys unwanted files and recycles UK documents to manufacture tissue.
The company can also securely dispose of other sensitive items such as uniforms, security passes, CDs and magnetic media.
“Any company which has not taken responsible steps to destroy such material securely is putting itself at risk of fraud and could face a heavy fine. The consequences could cause significant embarrassment and damage to a company’s reputation,” Russell said.
She is offering free compliance audits throughout 2011.
