QCan we start with an introduction to you , your career history , and how you came to found Fortis Foundations ? I ’ m Will Temperley , Founder of Fortis Foundations . Fortis Foundations provides civil engineering products and services , with expertise in foundations and piling , to the rail , civils , energy , residential and water sectors .
My inspiration to start the business began shortly after leaving my first long-term employer after 17 years in 2018 . The company had recently been sold and we had the choice to take voluntary redundancy . Many of my colleagues took this opportunity and left , however I believed in the company ’ s vision at that time and decided to stay to help guide them into the future . I soon regretted this decision when I realised our visions did not align . I began talks with my wife , Alice , about creating our own company and that is when Fortis was born . Alice spent hours researching potential fits for our business and eventually found the name Fortis , which is Latin for strong , bold and brave and fitted our new venture perfectly .
QWhat aspect of the business do you enjoy the most and why ? I ’ m most passionate about problem-solving . It ’ s the heart of our work , as we tackle complex challenges to design and build infrastructure .
