Great Leaders Programme - Aspiring Directors Application Summary

Steve Chapman

BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT PROPOSAL We have been working closely, looking at solutions and improvement for connected buildings, sensors and digital city mapping platforms. These smart systems will enable us to solve the problem of assisting our clients with their asset management and maintenance regimes. We have for many years been rolling out central management systems and smart lighting with remote control and monitoring across many of our core contracts. I have personally been heading up our works with two leading contractors delivering small cell installations for many of the mobile network operators. The cells are currently for 4G but will soon be swapped out for 5G cells preparing us as a nation for the future and providing a ground-breaking and exciting solution. Recently I have been working with MAP-16 developing mobile paperless working for our ICP and Small Cells delivery. THREE PILLARS PROPOSAL I was recently privileged to be on a call with Adam Green where he showed me the business’ 10- year plan. I was excited to see our plans on smart technologies and feel that I could assist in the development of the business in this area. The Lighting division has been at the forefront of smart technologies within FM Conway. We have recently introduced our own branded SureCharge electric vehicle charger solution which is being rolled out in various London Borough’s. I was also the lead on a connected street infrastructure project in Hammersmith and Fulham. Recently I have been working with Map16 developing mobile paperless working for our ICP and Small Cells delivery. The technological area of the business and its development can only be assured by close monitoring of advancements and continual consideration of exploiting its full potential to fully meet all client expectations. This is of great interest to me and carries a lot of efficiencies for the business.
