Of her proudest career achievement Jacqui says
“Miller changed the face of our industry when we introduced the revolutionary Miller Quick Coupler system enabling hydraulic excavators (diggers) to change from one tool to another within seconds, all at the flick of a switch from the safety of the machine operators cab. As the pioneers of this technology I’m exceptionally proud to have forced through this change for good. A sustainable change that has seen safety standards on various job sites improve dramatically across the world”
In addition to her passion for her own business Jacqui is a patriotic ‘believer’ and is of the firm belief that Britain has a great many products, services and practical business solutions to offer the changing face of the global economy. She is on a mission to “make a difference” wherever and whenever the opportunity presents itself.
“I want to inspire, encourage and coach other great businesses to get out there and make it happen. Opportunities as well as risk are a business constant. Let’s understand the risks versus the rewards and build our companies into stronger more sustainable businesses. Let’s make our great nation greater still. We have a proud heritage and if we work together to build on these foundations we have every reason to be confident of continued success on both a national and international scale.”
