Meet Pamela Dean
Trimmer at ANZCO Foods Eltham
Pamela Dean works in the offal room at ANZCO Foods Eltham as a trimmer. Every half hour, she and her team rotate through the different jobs in the room so they're well-versed in all tasks and areas of the room, and Pamela trains new team members and makes sure they know their tasks. She's been at ANZCO Foods Eltham for 17 years, initially starting out in the carton room, then moving into the packing room and the blood room, before finally moving into the offal room.
She's previously worked at the AFFCO meat processing site in Taumaranui, so she's an expert on all things meat-processing, and she's also worked at a fish and chip shop, the Collingwood cheese factory, and Pak'nSave between seasons at ANZCO Foods.
When she gets home, she'll put her legs up, have a cup of hot water, and relax for half an hour. She used to spend a lot of time with her eight grandchildren, aged between 6 and 14, before they moved away, and she's keen to go to Australia to visit them.
