People are going to have 2 or 3 careers during their working life and therefore I really wouldn’t feel too concerned to rush into finding out what that is. I think it’s important to find a role and a career that you’re going to really enjoy because you’re going to spend so much time at work. I think if you focus on having a really structured career plan, you often miss opportunities, so I think its important to be outwardly looking. Do roles you may not have necessarily thought of and take opportunities to develop. My advice would be to take every opportunity during your career. What would your advice be to students graduating from university? The customers that I’ve met absolutely love our products – that really inspires me. When I look at our products I’m absolutely blown away by the craftmanship – they’re like tiny pieces of art. That inspires me every day to do what I really love. My career has really focussed on leading organisations through cultural and strategic change, and I can’t think of a more exciting opportunity than this.
The reinvention of The Royal Mint has required every one of our thousand colleagues to learn new skills and do things in new ways.Įvery time we come up against a challenge, I’m always so impressed with the way that the team tackles and overcomes the issue. I think the main thing that inspires me about my role is the focus and the dedication of the team that I work with to reinvent The Royal Mint. In summary, I guess I feel a lot of responsibility, but that never feels like a burden because it’s such a privilege to work for an organisation like The Royal Mint, with its history and its exciting future. So, I hope that my appointment can be a role model for other women in areas of industry. I’m the first female Chief Executive in The Royal Mint’s 1,100 year history. I feel a real responsibility for The Royal Mint to play its role in relation to precious metals and the recycling of them. This is also a critical time for the world in regards to the environment. Our history gives us the confidence and capabilities to build on and the organisation is really enthusiastic about moving forward. People might think that because we’ve got a long history that the organisation is stuck in the past, that it’s resistant to change, but that’s just not my experience. Given our 1,100 year history, I really feel the responsibility to ensure that I lead the organisation in its reinvention, so that we’ve got a vibrant and successful future for many generations. It’s a real honour, it’s really exciting, but it also brings with it feelings of responsibility, particularly given the challenges that The Royal Mint was facing in terms of people moving away from coins to other forms of payment.
How does it feel to be CEO of a company with a heritage that stretches back over 1,000 years? We caught up with Anne Jessopp, Chief Executive, The Royal Mint, before her address.
