Matt Tuesday

One of the biggest changes I’ve seen in engineering and heavy industry over the past decade is the growing importance of marketing and communication.

For many years businesses in our sector relied almost entirely on reputation and word of mouth. While those things remain incredibly important, the ability to clearly communicate expertise, projects and capabilities has become just as critical.

At Hoverdale we’ve seen this first hand. Over the past few years our marketing activity has developed significantly — sharing more of the engineering work we do, the projects our teams deliver, and the technical expertise across the business.

A lot of that work has been driven by my daughter, Esther, who completed her marketing apprenticeship with the company and has played a key role in developing our digital presence and industry communication. Her work has also recently been recognised with a shortlisting for SHAPA Apprentice of the Year, which is a fantastic achievement.

Esther is now building her own marketing business, specialising in helping companies strengthen their digital presence through services such as website development, content creation, social media strategy and brand communication.

It’s great to see the next generation bringing new skills into industries like ours and helping businesses communicate their expertise more effectively.
