It didn’t all change in March 2020. Not really. The UK high street has been in the throes of a gradual revolution for decades. From the rise of ecommerce, to the birth of mobile, social commerce, and a growing emphasis on experience, change has been underway for a while. In fact for many, the pandemic has acted as a wake-up call. Digital transformation was no longer a ‘nice to have’ but a matter of survival.

Episode 239 That Great Business Show
Laurent Germain, CEO, Egis Worldwide
Steven Preece, CEO, Egis Ireland.
Egis, the engineering company, the largest engineering company in Ireland, and they gave you The Port Tunnel, the Jack Lynch Tunnel, the Limerick Tunnel...and so, so much more. They're also making sure the Adare bypass happens before the Ryder Cup comes to Limerick.
We have two bosses in studio with us, the Irish boss and the Big Big boss, of a company employing 20,000 people worldwide. They have €1billion to double the size of the company...and they're looking for acquisitions in Ireland as well as worldwide.
- They tell us why Cork, Limerick or Galway won’t be having a high speed train anytime soon.
- Why the government should follow the French model and hire the best engineers to project manage big infrastructure projects to keep them somewhere near budget. (In an earlier 13-year long career Laurent worked at the top end of government in France)
- And why Ireland needs another 6,000 engineers – right now. (Egis is hiring too).
Their 'hires in a heartbeat'
The French boss opted for French star, Antoine Dupont
The English born, Irish boss, opted for Ireland and Lions coach, Englishman Andy Farrell
