Meet Henry, Client Director at Axians UK. Driven by a passion for cybersecurity and continuous learning, Henry has embraced new opportunities to help shape the business' Cyber Security initiative while growing his own expertise along the way. We caught up with Henry to find out more about his journey, his incredible team and what makes Axians such a great place to work.
Hi Henry, can you finish the following sentence: ‘My business is an incredible company to work for because…’
it has strong core values including honesty, trust and collaboration that shape how we work. It’s a collaborative environment where everyone pulls in the same direction.
Can you give us an example of a time where you have been supported to achieve your best in your career while with us?
The business has supported me in my passion for Cyber Security by giving me the opportunity to champion our new Cyber Security initiative. Being trusted to get involved in an area I’m genuinely passionate about has helped me build new skills and broaden my knowledge. It’s shown me that if you’re willing to embrace new opportunities, there’s plenty of support to help you develop and achieve your best.
VEUK is an organisation made up of incredible teams both large and small. Tell us about your incredible team and what it’s like to work with them…
I’m lucky to work with a team who are hardworking, talented and genuinely supportive. We all have each other’s backs and there’s never a sense that you’re facing a challenge on your own. Whether it’s celebrating the wins, talking through a tricky problem or simply checking in to see how someone’s doing, there’s a real team spirit that makes a difference. We work hard, but we also have a laugh along the way, and that balance is what makes it such a great team to be part of.
At VEUK and our associated businesses, we are transforming our world through the ‘digital and energy revolutions’. Please tell us how your (or your teams) contribution is helping us to achieve that goal…
We are developing and delivering new technologies, solutions and services that give genuine value to our customers. For me, it’s about solving real problems and making things better, whether that’s through innovation, improving security or helping customers work smarter. Knowing that our work is contributing to the digital and energy revolutions in a practical, meaningful way gives a real sense of purpose to what we do every day.
Finally, in 50-100 words, please tell us why you are proud to do what you do…
I am proud to work for Axians because I genuinely believe in the value we bring to our clients. We don’t just deliver services and solutions for the sake of it, we take the time to understand what people need and build lasting relationships based on trust and collaboration. Our core values aren’t just words on a wall; they shape the way we work every day and being part of that is something I’m incredibly proud of.
