industry sectors, including gas infrastructure and healthcare. We provide clients with bespoke solutions across both construction and maintenance services that are tailored to their business needs, which is established through our collaborative approach and industry-leading communication.
What is your role in the business and what does your day-to-day role involve? As managing director, my day-to- day duties include developing and maintaining our strategic objectives and growth, as well as developing our service offerings to clients and new business.
How have you fared during the Covid-19 pandemic? We have seen considerable growth during the pandemic and are on target for our year-end forecast set out in 2019. While our customers in retail
have been affected considerably, our other clients in healthcare and gas infrastructure have continued
Interactive events go online in support of employee wellbeing
Wildfire Experience Agency has adapted its activities, events and teambuilding experiences to provide support for mental health and wellbeing during the Covid-19 pandemic. The company has redirected its focus by developing
a range of new online events to get workplaces communicating while working remotely. Wildfire managing director Nathan Angus said:
“While workplaces are still largely fragmented, we believe that team-building plays a massive part in providing employees with some interaction, fun and positivity at a time when contact is limited.
to develop further. This, coupled with a recent tender award for a national refurbishment programme in July, means we have fared well during this time.
What are the company’s plans for the future? We have seen accelerated growth this year and our objective is to continue on this trajectory. Our plans for the future are to establish our brand as a leading provider of building services solutions and construction. With our new operations director
Liam Torr joining the business in January, our specialist projects team has received an injection of industry knowledge and experience that has enabled it to really develop.
How long have you been a member of East Midlands Chamber, and what encouraged you to join and continue your membership? In normal times, the networking sessions are a big attraction. It’s useful to be able to identify events
and speakers relevant to my industry, which will bring my business more exposure and contacts. I’d also like people in my company to use certain groups like women in construction for personal development. We’re also looking at using some
of the discounts available for training in areas like accountancy in the future.
What do you believe is the most important role of a chamber of commerce? I can get quite wrapped up in running the day-to-day business so also useful to get the latest updates on what’s happening in my industry, whether it’s a big shift towards sustainability or new regulations that are on the horizon. Being plugged into the Chamber
to understand what the next 12 to 18 months could bring is a big wealth of knowledge.
Wildfire usually hosts active days out, but has pivoted to online team-building
“It’s an incredibly uncertain and isolating time, and a
fun online interactive event can make all the difference in boosting moral while keeping everyone safe.” It has been a challenging eight months for the
company, facing major setbacks caused by the restrictions on events. Nathan added: “Covid-19 has hit the event industry
hard and little support has been given, however we are a very positive company and our aim is to not only get through this pandemic with the strong team we have but to help other companies that may be struggling with employee engagement."
