21. Dave Bell's Legacy

Voices of BlueScope

As Voices of BlueScope returns in 2022, our Head of Corporate Affairs, Michael Reay, holds a special interview at the Port Kembla Steelworks in Australia with Dave Bell, our retiring General Manager Manufacturing. In this role, Dave has been responsible for the entire integrated steelmaking facility, and is now leaving BlueScope after an impressive 43 years with the company to enjoy retirement and time with family. You'll hear Dave reflect on his career, describe the people he’s met along the way and explain how BlueScope has evolved and continues to adapt for the future.
