We are thrilled to announce that James Fanfulla has been named our Apprentice of the Month for July 2025!

James, a second-stage mechanical engineering apprentice (Maintenance Fitter), is hosted to Coca-Cola Europacific Partners in Moorabbin, Victoria. He has consistently demonstrated an outstanding work ethic and a proactive approach to his trade, making him a truly deserving recipient of this recognition.

According to his supervisor, Navinesh Pandey, James consistently goes above and beyond his required duties. He has shown a remarkable understanding of the Maximo work order system, not only completing tasks but also meticulously scoping out jobs, adding required hours, and listing necessary parts. This attention to detail has been a huge asset to the team, improving overall efficiency and communication.

James’s dedication was particularly highlighted when he came in to support the team on a critical can line seamer size change. With a few colleagues unavailable, James’s stepped up to take on the extra responsibility. His ability to perform under pressure, completing the size change and quality checks, was instrumental in getting the line back up and running smoothly. This initiative speaks volumes about his skills and commitment.

James’s hard work has not gone unnoticed. He has been a consistent recipient of weekly and monthly internal CCEP staff awards and has even won the quarterly award. His initiative and willingness to take on new challenges set him apart as a high-achieving apprentice.

Congratulations, James! Your commitment to excellence and your impressive skills are paving the way for a successful future, and we are excited to see what you accomplish next.
