Tell us about your role at your company and
what your day-to-day work involves.
I am the CEO of Syrinix and have been in the role since late
2010. There is never really a typical day, though that is, of
course, part of the enjoyment of working at a relatively young
company like Syrinix.
At the moment I am heavily focused on growing our already
significant customer base, in the UK and internationally, as
well as working with colleagues across the business.
n
What does your company/department
specialise in and why is it the best at what
it does?
Syrinix specialises in automated pipeline monitoring
technologies with an initial focus on providing solutions for the
water sector. Put another way, we provide water utilities with
high-resolution, real-time information to help them operate
their supply networks more efficiently.
Why are we the best? Three reasons: First, because we work
very hard to attract the best people in the game and then
retain them by providing a stimulating and stretching work
environment.
Second, because the company’s background is in R&D, with
Syrinx starting as a university spin-out, and we have very
deliberately kept that R&D as a core strength of ours. Third,
because we make a real point of sticking to what we do very
well and then doing it very well too, ie delivering real value to
customers in our chosen area.
n
What is main project you are working on at
the moment?
We are running several R&D projects at the moment, which are
obviously confidential. Alongside that, Syrinix’s main focus at
the moment is cementing its position as a strong participant
in the international water sector.
Yes, we are still young and quite small, but we are making
tremendous inroads onto the global stage, and to see that
transforming into enquiries and orders is testament to how
effective our solutions are.
