At Binder Ltd, our team plays a key role in delivering the reliable service we’re known for. This month, we’re introducing Kieran Brunning, who recently joined the sales team and is already making a strong impact.

We caught up with Kieran to find out a bit more about his role and what he’s enjoyed most so far during his time at Binder.

Name

Kieran Brunning

Job Title

Sales Assistant

Length of service

I joined the Sales Department in February, so it’s only been a couple of months. It already feels like much longer in a good way. Everyone has made me feel really welcome.

A Day in Your Life at Binder

I start the day at 9am with a catch-up with Ben, Peter and Tony to run through what the day looks like. From there, I spend a lot of time learning and building my knowledge, working closely alongside Ben. Our desks couldn’t be any closer, which definitely helps.

The day itself is a mix of chasing quotes, speaking to customers, finding new opportunities, and solving problems as they come up. I also support with managing key accounts, making sure everything runs smoothly for our clients.

The focus is always on being helpful. Whether it’s something big or small, we aim to make things as easy as possible for our customers.

Best Part of the Job

Customer satisfaction is the biggest one for me. It’s always rewarding helping someone find exactly what they need or solving a problem for them.

I also really enjoy building relationships. You get to speak to people from all walks of life and build trust over time, which is a big part of the role.

Another thing I enjoy is the variety. Not every day is spent at a desk. I like getting out, meeting people face-to-face, and being part of a team that’s all working towards the same goal and improving together.

Outside of Work

I spend most evenings either watching or playing football. I also run regularly and enjoy long walks with my 10-year-old Sprocker Spaniel, Chester.

I like to keep active, but I also enjoy the balance. I’m always happy with an ice-cold pint in a beer garden when the sun’s out.

I also love travelling. Each year I try to visit two new countries. One of my highlights was spending three weeks in Vietnam, travelling from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi. It’s an amazing place with so much variety.

Desert Island Disc

In Rainbows by Radiohead. I could easily listen to it on repeat.

Coffee or Tea

Coffee. A heaped spoon with a dash of milk, and a custard cream on the side.

Takeaway of Choice

I’ll eat pretty much anything, but Favourite Chicken in Felixstowe is a go-to.

Burger meal, wings, gravy and a Dr Pepper.

Kieran has settled into the team quickly and brings a great mix of energy, curiosity, and customer focus to the role. We’re looking forward to seeing him continue to grow with Binder.

At Binder, our engineers are at the heart of what we do. They’re often the people you see on site, solving problems, keeping systems running, and making sure everything works as it should.

Harry Storey is one of our experienced engineers and tanker drivers, and he’s been part of the Binder team for over four years. His role combines technical expertise with hands-on problem solving, especially when customers need urgent support.

No two days look the same for Harry. His role often involves responding to breakdowns, which is the part of the job he enjoys most. Harry thrives on diagnosing issues, finding practical solutions, and getting customers back up and running as quickly as possible. He takes real satisfaction in problem solving, especially when a fix makes an immediate difference. Alongside this, Harry regularly heads out in the articulated tanker, combining technical expertise with time on the road and hands-on work at sites across the region.

For Harry, it is all about solving problems and getting out in the articulated tanker. He enjoys the responsibility that comes with the role and the sense of achievement that follows a job well done.

In our next interview for our Meet the Team series we’re introducing Ryan Hunn, one of our trainee electricians, who has been part of the Binder team for almost eight years.

Job Title: Trainee Electrician

Time at Binder: Almost eight years.

A day in your life at Binder:
Ryan’s day starts earlier than most. A 4:30am dog walk comes first, followed by a gym session, before work begins at 7am. No two days are the same. His role covers breakdowns, wire-ups, servicing, and supporting some of Binder’s larger contracts, including Sizewell. Ryan enjoys the practical, hands-on nature of the work. He particularly likes wire-ups. He is always ready to get stuck in wherever he is needed. His days often involve travelling across East Anglia, sometimes down very narrow country lanes when the sat nav gets adventurous.

Best part of the job:
Ryan values the variety his role brings. Every day offers something different. New challenges. New locations. New people. He enjoys not knowing exactly what the day will bring and takes pride in adapting to whatever is needed.

Outside of work:
Ryan loves spending time with his family and raising his two young boys. When he gets a bit of time to himself, you’ll usually find him in the gym or watching football.

Desert island disc:
Take Care by Drake.

Tea or coffee, and how do you take it?
Coffee in the morning. Tea in the afternoon. As it comes. Almond milk is a definite no.

Takeaway of choice:
Chinese, every time. As many dishes as possible. One or two is never enough.

Ryan brings reliability, energy, and a strong work ethic to the Binder team. His experience, flexibility, and positive attitude make him a valued part of our operations. We are proud to have him as part of the team.

We’re excited to introduce another valued member of our team here at Binder. Say hello to Nathasha Constance, a key part of our scheduling operation. Since joining us five months ago, Natasha has brought energy, warmth, and unwavering support to both colleagues and customers. Here’s a look behind the scenes at Nathasha’s role and the person behind it.

Job Title: Scheduler

Time at Binder: Five months.

A day in your life at Binder:
Natasha starts her day bright and early. She brings a positive attitude that lifts the whole office. Her mornings often involve sending samples to the lab and calling customers to book in their visits. She keeps the schedule running smoothly. She adapts to the unexpected. And she always does it with a smile. Her favourite part of the day is speaking with customers and helping them plan visits around their busy lives.

Best part of the job:
Natasha thrives on the people side of her role. She enjoys working with a great team and supporting lovely customers. She takes pride in making the booking process easy and convenient for everyone she speaks to.

Outside of work:
Natasha enjoys dancing in her living room with her kids. It brings joy. It brings laughter. And it is her favourite way to unwind.

Desert island disc:
She is torn between two choices.
“I want some nookie tonight” by Jamesy P for the fun. Or a collection of gospel songs for something a little more appropriate.

Tea or coffee – and how do you take it?
Natasha’s answer is simple. Wine.

Takeaway of choice:
A big night in calls for a proper feast. Special fried rice extra spicy. Sweet and sour king prawns. Salt, pepper and chilli squid. Salt and chilli spare ribs. The perfect spread for a cosy evening.

Nathasha brings heart, humour, and dedication to the Binder team every day. She strengthens our customer experience, supports our operations with reliability, and contributes to the positive culture we value so much. We are proud to have her as part of the team.
