‘We have a broad international reach with a track record of delivery. Our capabilities are delivered from our major office locations in the UK, Australia, Canada, USA, Netherlands and Singapore.’ A focus on delivery We continued to focus not only on winning new projects but also taking action within our business to ensure that, from bidding to sign-off, we managed and delivered all processes efficiently. To this end, we have accelerated our digital transformation, supported by new technologies to optimise delivery. We are also transforming our organisational structure to ensure that we maximise utilisation across our wide range of capabilities and provide the most effective and comprehensive solutions to our customers. We continue to employ a range of project and change management processes to guide our people through our transformation journey. Attracting and retaining the best people in the industry is essential to ensure we can continue to successfully deliver customer projects. We have invested in talent acquisition resources and campaigns. Our Global Mobility programme and Careers Map initiatives enable opportunities across the organisation, and we are investing in digital skills training to help our employees optimise a range of tools. We continue to strengthen our project risk assessment process, growing our technical assurance capabilities and processes to help mitigate the risk of committing to potentially onerous contracts. Through the development of a Global Project Management Office (PMO), we will ensure a more consistent application of project management processes across our portfolio. Charles Packshaw Chairman, BMT Board changes Given the importance of our people and our increasing focus on employee engagement, it is pleasing to report that we have made changes to both the board and executive team in these areas. We welcomed Gudrun Neumann to the executive committee as our new Global People Director and Mick Dewhirst to the board as our first ever Employee Director. He brings a vital employee voice to the boardroom and deepens engagement with our global employee network. A positive outlook As outlined in more detail by our Chief Executive, Sarah Kenny, our financial performance provides evidence that the strategy that has been developed and put in place since her arrival is delivering. As we continue to focus on exciting growth opportunities and strengthen our internal processes to win and deliver those opportunities more effectively, we can look forward to further sustainable growth in the years ahead, boosted by the exciting news that, shortly after the end of this reporting period, we have secured our biggest ever contract win. 5
