Thank you to everyone who noted my recent work anniversary (particular thanks to those who asked if we started Big Picture before I started school – drinks are on me 😉).
To be honest, for the last few years I’ve had a momentary cringe when the number comes up – 20+ years is a very long time to spend in the same business.
But that’s the point: Big Picture is not the same business it was when we started. It’s not the same as it was when we hired our very first employee (still referred to as our First Born). It’s not the same as it was pre-pandemic.
Almost every day brings something new.
The bids are bigger. Our team is more diverse. Our involvement runs deeper. Our experience and insights are more informed, more valuable, more recognised.
We work with global clients we could only dream of attracting when we started.
And there’s still so much I want us to achieve:
- International growth
- Greater engagement with our infrastructure sector
- More involvement during the delivery phase of the projects we help win
- Exploring new horizons in community and stakeholder engagement, sustainability and AI.
So I’ve decided to embrace that ever-increasing number of years 'in the same business'.
Because it’s not the same business. It’s even better.
Congratulations James on 18 years! Your tenure is a result of your level of service and loyal customers! Thank you for bringing your insight and experience to Protingent every day! #recruiting #tenure #contractjobs #engineering #sme
