Technical Services Director at Wedge Group Galvanizing Ltd, David Nobes, had the honour of sharing his expertise on sustainability strategy and its successful implementation with an international audience during a recent visit to Madrid (Spain).

David was invited by Juan Campos, MBA Program Coordinator at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM), to deliver a presentation to students at the university. Separately, Juan Carlos Higueras, Director of MBA Programs at the EAE Business School, extended an invitation for him to deliver the same presentation to students at EAE. Both events reflect the institutions’ commitment to bridging academic theory with practical application to address global environmental challenges.

 “Juan Campos from the UAM had visited the UK over the summer and expressed a strong interest in the work I’ve been doing as part of my MSc in Sustainable and Ethical Business Management at Derby University.” David said.  “He was particularly intrigued by Wedge Group’s journey towards Net Zero and the innovative practices we’ve implemented to reduce our carbon footprint.”

“It was a privilege to share these insights with international students, exploring the challenges organisations face when implementing sustainable processes, as well as the ambitious targets set by governments worldwide. It was also an opportunity to highlight the inherent sustainability of galvanizing as an industry and the significant progress Wedge Group Galvanizing has made to enhance its eco-friendly credentials.”

David concluded by expressing his gratitude to both institutions: “I would like to thank Juan Campos at the UAM for his kind invitation, as well as Juan Carlos Higueras at EAE Business School for inviting me to share this presentation. My sincere thanks also go to Karyn Suárez at EAE Business School for her role in facilitating the sessions and ensuring everything ran smoothly. The engagement and curiosity of the students was truly inspiring.”
