From a small electrical contracting business in the Northwest, BGEN has grown to become a successful international business working with some of the world\u2019s largest blue-chip companies, like BAE, AstraZeneca, and ExxonMobil. Having undergone a management buyout (MBO) from East Midlands Electricity in 1994, the business has since experienced rapid growth, expanded its services and capabilities, and earned a positive reputation for its consistent high quality and reliability.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re 106 years old this year and it\u2019s been a century of evolution,\u201d opens Robin Whitehead, BGEN\u2019s CEO. \u201cOver the years, we\u2019ve established a strong, loyal customer base including many of the world\u2019s leading organizations. Through organic growth, we\u2019ve strengthened our self-delivery offering within our core competencies \u2013 mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, control and automation (MEICA) \u2013 as well as extended our capabilities and geographic reach by expanding our existing services into complementary market sectors.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Building on success<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cThe most recent evolutions following the MBO in 1994 are the creation of two key subsidiaries \u2013 BES and BFP \u2013 to grow our presence in the life sciences and food sectors, respectively. Most recently, we underwent a total rebranding to BGEN in 2021, adding the strapline \u2018next generation engineering\u2019 to reflect the breadth of our capabilities, as well as our strategic focus on energy transition, sustainability, and digitization.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough the former brand, Boulting, was strong, it restricted our reach in terms of existing clients\u2019 perceptions and our breadth of services. It was a turning point in our history as it gave us the opportunity to re-market ourselves, and reaffirm who we are, what we offer, and how we deliver. This way, we can reach out to potential new clients as we diversify from our roots as an electrical contracting business towards embracing our ethos of next generation engineering.\u201d<\/span> \"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, BGEN operates 14 locations across the UK, including regional offices and three off-site manufacturing facilities, as well as a new expanded site in Derby. \u201cWe previously occupied a small office space in the region, but we quickly outgrew the facility and have since secured an instrumentation framework that required a local product assembly and test capability,\u201d Robin reveals. \u201cDue to the growth in the volume of work we deliver in the area, including a long-term framework with Severn Trent Water, we relocated to larger premises in Derby in December 2023.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reflecting on the company\u2019s growth, Robin continues: \u201cOf course, our growth hasn\u2019t happened by chance; it is credit to the considerable time and effort our amazing teams have invested to strengthen our management and delivery capabilities. While there are several factors that have contributed to our growth, it primarily comes down to a combination of customer confidence, increased proven capability, and the successfully managed delivery of our strategic intentions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOver the last five years, for example, we\u2019ve specifically targeted certain major projects in the UK based around our core competencies. With a strong foundation of existing long-term client projects and frameworks, this approach has not only seen us receive a number of awards but has also enabled us to build positive relationships to hopefully secure more repeat work in the future.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Driving the energy transition<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

From such working relationships, BGEN has recently won a significant project that could in fact be the largest in its history. Although the details are limited, Robin reveals that the major four-year contract is for an electrical installation package at Hinckley Point. \u201cA key area of focus for us has been the UK\u2019s energy transition, and we\u2019ve been working towards securing this project for around four years by demonstrating the capacity and resources required to deliver the scheme,\u201d Robin recalls.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs the works are centered around the installation of industrialized electrical and instrumentation packages, the project directly aligns with our traditional skills and capabilities. Additionally, BGEN established a nuclear division back in 2010, which included heavy investment in our systems, people, and procedures to build competence in a highly regulated market. The division has successfully delivered several projects in the nuclear sector, in both new builds and refurbishment or upgrade schemes.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s all about our people<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

On a more personal note, Robin, who started his career as an apprentice electrician, has carried his passion for training and development through to BGEN. \u201cI\u2019ve worked my way through various job roles, and I came to BGEN to help launch a data communications capability around digitization and technology,\u201d Robin recalls. \u201cI then became part of the management team and was invited to join the executive team as CEO around three years ago.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not alone either; many of our leaders have similar routes of starting as an apprentice and working up to operational management. I even completed an MBA during my time at BGEN, so it is our support structure that enables people to progress from apprentice to CEO like I have done. It\u2019s helped me be a better leader too, as having a ground level understanding of what it takes to deliver these projects, not only manage them, helps me to constantly appreciate the hard work of every single member of our team.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The future<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

As our conversation draws to a close, talk turns to the future of the business, including its sustainability goals. \u201cWe set out a strategy to reach Net Zero by 2035, with a first step of reducing our emissions by 25 percent by 2025,\u201d Robin states. \u201cI\u2019m proud that we have already reduced our emissions by 37 percent, but we recognize it will be harder as we go further in our mission.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve recently brought supply chain in-house to work closely with suppliers on reducing our Scope 3 emissions too. We\u2019re simultaneously helping them on their own journeys by providing low-carbon alternatives to traditional manufacturing, assembly, and project delivery strategies.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMoving forward, we\u2019ll continue to monitor market intelligence and steer our capabilities towards complementary sectors and opportunities, whilst also delivering services around our technological, digital, and environmental objectives,\u201d Robin concludes. \u201cWe are well positioned to deliver our current strategy with regards to the growth in the UK\u2019s energy transition, as well as assist our clients\u2019 own carbon reduction initiatives and investments.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
