Spirax Group

Engineering is everywhere and it’s for everyone. Engineering powers our cities, connects our communities and drives many of the innovations that shape our world. From the water we drink to the food we eat, to healthcare, buildings and the technology we use, engineering plays a critical role in creating things we rely upon every day. That’s why, on UNESCO’s World Engineering Day, we recognise both the contribution of engineers across the globe, as well as the need to support underrepresented talent and those who might face additional barriers or challenges during their career. Ensuring diversity in engineering creates equity, but it also creates so much more. Because when you bring together a wider range of perspectives and lived experiences, something magic happens. Diverse teams come together to create more innovative solutions with more impactful outcomes. That’s why, at Spirax Group, an inclusive culture based on Values, is one of our four colleague promises. We know that when our colleagues can be themselves at work, they can achieve their full potential and together, we can engineer a more efficient, safer and sustainable world for everyone. #WorldEngineeringDay #Industry #Engineering #EveryoneIsIncluded #ColleaguePromises

In the post below Nimesh Patel talks to Tara Cemlyn-Jones, why Spirax Group joined 25x25 Limited and why he wanted to co-Chair FTSE Women Leaders Review with Penny James, in his interview with 25x25. You can find the interview here: https://lnkd.in/eeZC93xF.  

“…I think the thing that really struck me as I was thinking about my team for the future is we didn't set out to hire a woman. We set out to hire the best possible person we could, but we also recognised that we wanted to look harder and longer and make sure that we're really pushing ourselves to find that best possible person. And I think we did in all of those roles.”    Our Group CEO Nimesh Patel examines his approach to talent and succession planning and shares the progress the Group has made in achieving more balance in its leadership team, in today’s interview with Tara Cemlyn-Jones for 25x25 Limited.  

At Spirax Group, if we see something not right, we don’t walk by. That is how our people remain vigilant while keeping themselves, their colleagues, our customers and suppliers safe. As we continue to evolve and enhance our culture through our Culture, Assurance, Risk and Enablement (C.A.R.E.) H&S Excellence Framework. Our colleagues from across the world, are taking part in a Global Safety Stand Down focusing on the importance of Safety Conversations. Watch the video below as Group Health and Safety Director Dave Stevenson talks about how every action matters as we all play a role towards Safety across our Group. #TogetherWeAreSpiraxGroup #HealthAndSafety #Safety

Multi-dimensional and striking the balance between strategic and tactical, the role of the Chief People Officer has never been more varied. Our Group HR Director, Jim Devine, recently spoke to Criticaleye about the role and perception of HR, as part of their Retreat sessions. In the interview, Jim discusses the many layers of his role, how this evolved during his career and the importance of addressing the needs of diverse stakeholder audiences. Read his interview below.

As Spirax Group, we champion the promotion of inclusive and equitable access to education. Aligned to those values, we celebrate UNESCO’s International Day of Education, which recognises the role of education, for peace and development globally. Now in its seventh year. UNESCO believes that education is a basic human right and essential for the next generations to reach their full potential. For 2025, the theme of the International Day of Education is AI and Education: Human Agency in an Automated World. Which explores how the boundaries between human interaction and machine-driven action can often blur. https://lnkd.in/d8raCig In 2021, aligned to our One Planet: Engineering with Purpose Sustainability Strategy, we established a £15 million Group Education Fund, with the purpose of promoting inclusive and equitable access to education in the communities where we operate. We believe without inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong opportunities for all, countries will not succeed in achieving gender equality and breaking the cycle of poverty that is leaving millions of children, youth and adults behind.     An initiative we are very proud of, with the Fund having already created and continuing to make positive impacts. 

This week we welcomed our new Chair, Tim Cobbold, to Spirax Group plc. Tim succeeds Jamie Pike who stepped down from the Spirax Group Board after 10 years, including six as Chair.

He is a fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales and holds a BSc, Mechanical Engineering, from Imperial College, London.

We’re beginning 2025 as we ended 2024; guided by our Purpose to create sustainable value for all our stakeholders as we engineer a more efficient, safer and sustainable world. Our teams are continuing to live our Values, making their difference across every aspect of our operations, as we work together in service of people and the planet. We’re looking forward to the year ahead and would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone in and associated with, Spirax Group, a peaceful and prosperous 2025. #TogetherWeAreSpiraxGroup #OurPurpose #OurValues #2025
