We have four principal operating groups organised around a combination of the different products and services they provide, and the geographical area in which they operate. Our global business is based around seven home markets in Australia, India, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Sweden, the UK and US. The Executive Committee is the forum in which the operating group and functional leaders communicate, review and agree on issues of company-wide significance. We believe it is vital that we help encourage more young people to consider careers in science and engineering. Explore our historical timeline through key dates.
