Family...Powerbetter Management

We are a family owned business, which enables the Company to be managed in an effective way.  Within a clear control framework, local managers have autonomy in running projects, whilst working together to share best practice and expertise around the Company, seek synergies and cost savings, improve performance and achieve economies of scale wherever possible.  

 

There are many regular forums for working together across the Company, from the Directors, Technical and Project Management to various functional working teams.  We believe that this structure allows us to combine the ‘best of being capable’ with the ‘best of being national’, striking the optimal balance between encouraging initiative and entrepreneurial spirit and working together, where to do so benefits the Company as a whole.
