The Industrial Hero

After 25 years, we know what drives this community

“As maintenance and asset management practitioners, we are the practical doers – we make stuff work on an industrial scale. We revel in being the lifeblood that keeps economies going and, even though we aren’t the most glamourized, we have no doubt of how important we are in making this whole thing work.

‘Asset management’ tamely describes the risky work we do, where a single misstep can cost just millions. However, it’s what we live for and what keeps us going. Everything we know and have learnt is experienced on the job - you cannot read this, find it in a university or download the manual. We don’t know everything, but what we do know specific to our expertise is worth more than gold.

Few things excite us more than making stuff do more than it was ever designed to do – faster, safer, longer and more efficiently is our love language. And we always want to learn more, connect more with likeminded people and be inspired to do more. We are industrial heroes.”
