Parvalux lockdowns and port closures , boats getting stuck in the Suez Canal , and more recently the issues caused by the war in Ukraine with increased inflation and interest rates .
“ Usually , it would be tough navigating one or two of these issues , but they have come both concurrently and quickly . We have had to remain agile and resilient , and could only have done this by having a strong team with innovative thinking . We generally applied a ‘ fail fast ’ approach , which has allowed us to pilot scenarios , and run trials and then make corrections quickly if we weren ’ t seeing the benefit . Combined with switching to a much more proactive approach in our risk management , and scenario planning , we have been able to adapt quickly to most of the issues ,” he expresses .
The result of this is that the company achieved two record years , growing substantially in both domestic and international sales in the process . Now , Parvalux looks forward to a prosperous future where it will continue to develop its manufacturing capabilities and improve its quality level . “ In a physical sense , we will have been settled into our new plant and building in Poole , and that site can support our growth through to 2030 .
“ We are also fortunate to be part of the maxon group , which invests in the future of the business , and our people , so I can see us growing our team , fostering talent through our academy and working with many new customers and partners from across the globe , making Parvalux a shining example of a British manufacturer on a global stage ,” Doug concludes . ■
