Engineering Solutions for the Green World-GKN Celebrates 250 Years

摘要

A unique event in British Corporate history takes place this year, the 250th Anniversary of the founding of GKN. From small beginnings this great Company has been steered through many wars including two World Wars, numerous recessions, partial nationalisation, profits warnings and layoffs and has survived as a thriving part of the British economy, producing billions of pounds a year in revenue and tax for the Exchequer. But, this didn't happen overnight and it has taken patience, foresight and good stewardship to take GKN to the position it is in today and for the next 250 years. BATTLESPACE Editor Julian Nettlefold met up with Kevin Smith Group Chief Executive of GKN Plc. to discuss the aims of GKN for the next 250 years.
