Voted top professional by her colleagues, it took us less than a day to understand why. Soula has been with KORRES for 14 years. Among other responsibilities, she coordinates and supervises the packaging schedule – production and packaging often operate on a 24-hour basis – ensuring a smooth, productive run of all packaging lines; she coordinates the in-house technical team so as to maintain an efficient run and performance of the plant’s equipment and machinery; and she is also actively involved in new packaging materials when it comes to new product development. Quite a challenge for someone who opted for this position simply because there was no commuting involved. “And to think I only took the job because it was so close to home”.

14 years later, her colleagues are yet to see her without a smile on her face despite her hectic schedule that starts as early as 6:30am. Leading a fourteen-strong team, hers is the name you hear the staff calling out most as you walk through the plant. With all lines in full blast, her phone ringing non-stop, and fellow colleagues constantly asking for her help, we made the mistake to turn our heads for a moment and she was GONE! We had to hunt her down, only to find her checking a machine status and settings while offering at the same time troubleshooting help to another colleague. “You think this is a hectic day? This is EVERY day” she laughingly told us. We are probably more proud than she is for her much deserved award. Here is her day!
