“ WE RECOGNISE THAT , EVEN AS A WORLD- LEADING COMPANY , WE CANNOT STAND STILL ”
COLIN LLOYD HEAD OF BUSINESS EXCELLENCE , ELEMENT SIX
“ There is a wave of excitement about the possibilities of digital at all levels in the company ,” says Lloyd . “ We have developed a long-term digital roadmap that aligns all the sites and business functions , incorporating insights from all levels of the business , from shopfloor staff and administrators to engineers , specialists and senior leaders ”.
He sees the increase in technology within the sector as an exciting opportunity to digitise previously manual processes , allowing the team to use the increasing data to improve customer experience , increase product quality , and to continue the company shift to solutions-based manufacturing and client relationships .
“ Our expertise lies in the ability to help our customers and partners do things better , faster and for longer ,” said Lloyd . “ Historically , we ’ ve been viewed as materials specialists , but it ’ s exciting to see how our company is changing .”
Element Six is now much more of a solutions-oriented business , working with partners to identify their pain points and develop solutions to support them , with materials expertise and patented technology underpinning the work .
“ By re-skilling and upskilling our staff , as an organisation , we hold true to the mantra : ‘ We never stop learning !’.”
