“ I ’ m not alone either ; many of our leaders have similar routes of starting as an apprentice and working up to operational management . I even completed an MBA during my time at BGEN , so it is our support structure that enables people to progress from apprentice to CEO like I have done . It ’ s helped me be a better leader too , as having a ground level understanding of what it takes to deliver these projects , not only manage them , helps me to constantly appreciate the hard work of every single member of our team .”
The future
As our conversation draws to a close , talk turns to the future of the business , including its sustainability goals . “ We set out a strategy to reach Net Zero by 2035 , with a first step of reducing our emissions by 25 percent by 2025 ,” Robin states . “ I ’ m proud that we have already reduced our emissions by 37 percent , but we recognize it will be harder as we go further in our mission .
“ We ’ ve recently brought supply chain in-house to work closely with suppliers on reducing our Scope 3 emissions too . We ’ re simultaneously helping them on their own journeys by providing low-carbon alternatives to traditional manufacturing , assembly , and project delivery strategies .
“ Moving forward , we ’ ll continue to monitor market intelligence and steer our capabilities towards complementary sectors and opportunities , whilst also delivering services around our technological , digital , and environmental objectives ,” Robin concludes . “ We are well positioned to deliver our current strategy with regards to the growth in the UK ’ s energy transition , as well as assist our clients ’ own carbon reduction initiatives and investments .” ■
