Recognition of a future star who is destined for great things having made a significant impact in an organisation.

Emma Clark is ITC Hydraulic’s rising star and an outstanding talent having become a huge asset to its team since joining straight from school. Her hard work, diligence and desire to succeed have enabled her to rise to become procurement manager at just 22, responsible for the purchasing team with an annual budget of more than £1.8million.

Emma has established herself as the single point of contact for all commercial matters. Her multi-discipline career progression plan has allowed her to gather valuable experience across all areas of the company, giving her a unique overview and understanding of its ethos and key drivers.

In spite of her busy and demanding role, Emma still manages to find time for her own personal development. She is studying towards CIPS Level 5 Advanced and has her sights set on then securing her CIPS Level 6 Professional Diploma.

Recently Emma has been the project lead for the reactivation of the Piper Bravo rig. Emma has overseen the procurement team’s activities in sourcing all the required parts and has also had to ensure the safety of the offshore technicians for every trip.

Sourcing the suitable components for the refurbishment of a 40-year-old drilling system to be compliant with current legislation has required Emma to spend considerable time and effort in discussions with suppliers to find the equivalent replacement parts and the client has been delighted with the work by Emma and her team.

Commitment, professionalism and a drive to succeed have empowered Emma to fast-track her career and to have reached such heights so young is inspiring, admirable and makes her stand out.

Despite her busy professional schedule Emma still manages to help others and her charity efforts have included climbing Bennachie every day for a month which raised more than £8,000 for Charlie House and won her the “Community Champion” title at the Pride of Inverurie awards.

Now she is reaching for the top of the world with a charity trek to Everest base camp later this year.
