In this episode, I chat to Jurgen Van Gorp. Jurgen has 23 years experience in metal recycling and currently holds the position of portfolio manger of raw materials for Aurubis Group. 

He’s also a member of the Non-Ferrous Board of the BIR and is an active speaker and panelist at various recycling conferences globally.

In this episode we chat about:

• When to walk away from a short term gain
• The inaugural Born Scrappy boxing bout
• Advice that has stuck for 23 years
• The times they are a-changin’
• You have to work for it
• And much more!


WHO IS STU KAGAN ANYWAYS?

25 years in the metal recycling game and still learning and growing…

I learnt from the best and worked my way up from yard labourer to Executive Director of Trading and Operations for the largest metal recycler in sub-Saharan Africa. Responsible for 4,500 employees, 85 sites, and the overall profitability of a multi-billion dollar operation.

Brought my breadth and depth of knowledge to bear and co-founded the fastest growing, most-loved, and most awarded metal recycling company in New Zealand. No small feat in a country where people are outnumbered 4:1 by sheep (spoiler alert: sheep don’t produce much metal waste).
