The Business Post Podcast
Ep 14: Francois Basselot, Egis UK & Ireland Managing Director - The Business Post Podcast with Daniel McConnell and Peter O'Dwyer

So Aegis has been here for a long time, has been in Ireland since 1994.

Ep 14: Francois Basselot, Egis UK & Ireland Managing Director - The Business Post Podcast with Daniel McConnell and Peter O'Dwyer

And yet I don't think it's super well known to the average person.

The Business Post Podcast
Ep 14: Francois Basselot, Egis UK & Ireland Managing Director - The Business Post Podcast with Daniel McConnell and Peter O'Dwyer

So tell us a little bit about the company, projects you have been involved in Ireland, how many people you employ, just what the Aegis story in Ireland is.

So you're an engineering firm, but within that, there's a lot.

It's not just straightforward.

The Business Post Podcast
Ep 14: Francois Basselot, Egis UK & Ireland Managing Director - The Business Post Podcast with Daniel McConnell and Peter O'Dwyer

So do you do everything from design to maintenance and operation and kind of everything in between?

The Business Post Podcast
Ep 14: Francois Basselot, Egis UK & Ireland Managing Director - The Business Post Podcast with Daniel McConnell and Peter O'Dwyer

Or what specifically do you do?

How competitive is the space, both in the UK and Ireland?

What sort of companies would be your competitors here?

Ep 14: Francois Basselot, Egis UK & Ireland Managing Director - The Business Post Podcast with Daniel McConnell and Peter O'Dwyer

And I suppose it varies across those different functions.

The Business Post Podcast
Ep 14: Francois Basselot, Egis UK & Ireland Managing Director - The Business Post Podcast with Daniel McConnell and Peter O'Dwyer

And whether it be accurate or otherwise, there's a sense that there was far less complexity however many decades ago and that things were easier to build.

The Business Post Podcast
Ep 14: Francois Basselot, Egis UK & Ireland Managing Director - The Business Post Podcast with Daniel McConnell and Peter O'Dwyer

The Business Post Podcast
Ep 14: Francois Basselot, Egis UK & Ireland Managing Director - The Business Post Podcast with Daniel McConnell and Peter O'Dwyer

Is the complexity something that kind of helps your business in a way?
