Instead, an achievement would be getting to the end of my career knowing that I used my privileged position to make a tangible difference by helping others to accomplish great things, potentially changing the industry for the better, and improving the lives of people in our communities.
“ At Bell, we frequently discuss social mobility, as I believe it is an area where both our company and I can make a huge impact. We have the ability to take individuals from different levels of the social scale and help propel them up the social ladder. This includes people from generationally unemployed families, whom we provide with fulfilling careers, as well as individuals like me who did not excel at school. In my case, when I left school, I was fortunate to have a mentor named Ian Henderson. He believed in me, trained me, developed me, and allowed me to listen and observe his expertise in action. From there, I would repeatedly try to replicate what he was doing. Over time, we refined these practices and improved upon them. Inspired by this experience, I strive to foster a platform within Bell where, first and foremost, we encourage people to embrace this approach. Secondly, we aim to demonstrate to other businesses what can be achieved, not only in terms of commercial viability but also from a financial perspective, while simultaneously making a meaningful contribution to supporting the community. If we can achieve this, why wouldn’ t we want to share that knowledge?” he reflects.
Bell exemplifies how a business can thrive commercially while making a profound social impact. By blending ethical practices, community engagement, and innovative services, the company not only delivers exceptional results but also empowers individuals and communities. Its commitment to sustainability, social conscience, and shared success sets an inspiring benchmark for the industry and beyond. ■
