On Sunday, September 10, employees and their families gathered at the Hunter Botanic Gardens for a 40th birthday party picnic. As well as live music, activities and food, there were bus tours of the smelter and a display of big mobile equipment to give the family members a behind-the-scenes look. A raffle and branded kid’s PPE stand raised over $6700 for Variety, the children’s charity and the day was filled with sunshine, laughter, and happy faces.
Ten employees have worked at the smelter for the entire 40 years. Two of those staff members – Phillip Humphreys and Ross McCrohon – have served for 41 years because of their involvement in early work to establish the smelter.
The Picnic Day was our way of saying a heartfelt “Thank You” to our employees and their families, for keeping us running 24/7 so we can continue to produce essential aluminium for all.
