WELCOME TO THE MARCH 2019 EDITION OF ROBUST MAGAZINE

From trade wars to Brexit, the past financial year has been characterised by uncertainty, change and disruption on a global level. The Group’s resilience to the effects of the macroeconomic environment, has been strengthened by our strategic repositioning and diversification across natural resources market sectors, selected geographic regions and the different phases of the engineering and construction project lifecycle. In our feature article, I discuss the Group’s strategic flexibility and how acquisitive growth will support our organic growth aspirations.

Our philosophy of Engineered Excellence is also visible throughout this edition of Robust and, in particular, the bright futures the beneficiaries of the Jack Cheetham and Letsema Awards have created and how they continue to make positive changes to their communities after receiving the award.

It was a pleasure to host the annual Murray & Roberts Group Safety Conference earlier this year and I commend all the winners of the Group CE Recognition Awards, but also every employee who has embraced our belief that Zero Harm is possible, made visible by our achievement of a world-class safety performance over the past financial year.

Excellence in leadership, especially when navigating the challenges that corporate organisations face today, is admirably demonstrated by the Murray & Roberts Holdings Board. In the Robust Q&A, the advice shared by the accomplished women on our Board is invaluable and I hope you will enjoy reading their interviews as much as I have.

Enjoy this issue of Robust Magazine.

GROUP CHIEF EXECUTIVE
