Christian Dijkstra, Head of Strategy.
Long-term vision One of the challenges last year for the board was getting time to work on the business’s long-term strategy. We wanted to make space to focus on this area and hence we created the new role, Head of Strategy, that Christian is moving into. We have a very clear vision of becoming our customers’ most trusted LED lighting brand but getting time to work on the project to help deliver this was becoming difficult. Stephen Harpur offers fresh eyes to our business and brings a wealth of experience coming from his previous employer, Lidl. Stephen worked in several different departments, including commercial, financial planning, projects, sales and operations. Again, this is a brand-new role and allows the business the bandwidth to focus on a number of key objectives. All senior management positions are now complete and from July 1, we will have a powerful management team to drive the
business onto its next phase of growth. Naturally, this growth will create further opportunities for our people and therefore recruitment rarely stops. We are also recruiting for new Areas Sales Managers for both the Irish and Scottish divisions. Key projects We are always looking at ways to improve the business and internally look at each department asking the question: What can we do better? What does best in class look like? How do we make incremental improvements each day? This continual review helps us to deliver on our value proposition, which is Trust ROBUS to be easy to deal with, Trust ROBUS to supply high quality lighting products and Trust ROBUS for market-led innovation. If we continue to improve in these areas naturally, we will grow. www.robus.com
