We’re excited to share that Jodie Hawkes, CEO of Bowhill Engineering, was recently featured on the Sales Revolution podcast with Ingrid Maynard. In this insightful episode, Jodie shared her inspiring journey, our unique approach to business, and the core philosophy that drives our success.
From Crisis To CEO: Jodie’s Inspiring Journey
Jodie’s path to becoming CEO of Bowhill Engineering is nothing short of remarkable. She never expected to lead an engineering firm, initially aiming for a career in law or real estate. However, the sudden loss of her brother-in-law Simon, who was also her husband Jeremy’s business partner, changed everything.
Jodie stepped in during a challenging time, dedicating herself to supporting the family business. Over the years, what began as a struggle for survival transformed into a thriving business thanks to Jodie and Jeremy’s relentless commitment and vision.
Core Values That Drive Our Success
In the podcast, Jodie discusses the core values that underpin Bowhill Engineering’s operations and client relationships. These values—”Smarter Together,” “Win Before You Start,” “Complexity Done Excellently,” and “Committed to the Community”—are not just slogans but integral parts of our business model.
- Smarter Together: We emphasise collaborative design and methodology development, partnering with our clients to achieve optimal results.
- Win Before You Start: By managing end-to-end processes, we provide cost certainty, ensuring there are no surprises for our clients.
- Complexity Done Excellently: Through meticulous systems and process refinement, we strive for excellence in every project.
- Committed to the Community: Our dedication to community involvement reflects in various initiatives that support local projects and causes, reinforcing our role as a regional cornerstone.
The Philosophy Of Mutual Mattering
A key takeaway from the podcast is the concept of “mutual mattering”. At Bowhill Engineering, we believe in treating every stakeholder—employees, clients, and suppliers—as a valued partner. This approach fosters a culture of accountability, trust, and continuous improvement, ensuring that everyone thrives together.
Deep Commitment To Our Community
Jodie’s passion for community engagement shines through as she shares our numerous initiatives. From constructing local infrastructure to supporting personal causes and managing the community center, our commitment goes beyond business. These efforts have strengthened our bonds within the community and highlighted our role in regional development.
Looking Ahead: Continuing To Thrive
As Bowhill Engineering continues to grow, we remain steadfast in our values and community commitment. With Jeremy now focusing on business development, we are excited to deepen our client relationships and expand our impact.
Together We Thrive: Win, Win, Win!
Jodie Hawkes’ leadership at Bowhill Engineering is a testament to resilience, innovation, and the power of community. Through Jodie’s dedication and our company’s commitment to core values, collaboration, and community engagement, we have transformed challenges into opportunities for growth and success.
