Episode 14: John & Kenny

To mark Veolia's Inclusion Week, we are bringing you a special edition of Our People Podcast. This episode features a candid conversation with John Riddock, Cost/Financial Engineer, and his manager, Kenny Orr, Regional Manager for Scotland as we shine a spotlight on the power of inclusion and the importance of creating an inclusive workplace environment.

In his mid-30s, John was diagnosed with an eye condition called retinitis pigmentosa, resulting in vision loss and blindness. Throughout this episode, we navigate the power of open communication, the significance of making small accommodations and how embracing diversity strengthens our workforce.

Tune in to hear John’s story and gain a deeper understanding of the transformative power of inclusion. 

What is Veolia - Our People Podcast?

Every day, the people of Veolia work hard to deliver essential services across the UK and Ireland – whether that’s by sorting waste to be recycled, treating wastewater to be reused, providing clean energy to customers and communities or supporting all activities from our corporate offices. But with 14,000 resourcers across over 400 sites, it’s hard to keep up with all the amazing things that our people do…

That is why we’ve created Veolia’s ‘Our People’ Podcast. In each episode, we’ll sit down with our colleagues, heading into the heart of our business and celebrating the brilliant work they achieve. Through real, open and honest conversations, we’re going behind the scenes to find out what drives our resourcers to do the work they do.
