Rubix

Rubix offers extensive career development opportunities across markets, functions and roles. Our home of learning – the Rubix Academy – is where colleagues turn opportunity into reality as they develop the skills they need to achieve their ambitions. For our new colleagues, it all starts with a tailor-made onboarding programme, which ensures they get off to a flying start.   

Developing skills for the future, facilitated by our exclusive brands. An important and meaningful partnership.

On International Women’s Day, we want to acknowledge the progress we have made on gender diversity while accepting that this is an area where we can do more. Pictured on the main stage at our recent leadership conference in Lisbon are just some of the talented female colleagues we have at Rubix. It’s a reminder of the great role models in our business and it gives us even greater determination to ensure we continue to develop our pipeline of future talent. We're pleased that the employee engagement gender gap at Rubix closed to just one point in our most recent survey, and we are proud that it has reduced significantly since 2018 – even if one point is one point too many! Making Rubix a great place to work for everyone is the first step to improving diversity. With that in mind: - We designed and deployed a new and consistent talent attraction message: ‘Bring your difference’. This recruitment campaign aims to appeal to a broader candidate pool. - We launched our first ever ‘Women in Business’ development programme with delegates from across Rubix. These high potential women are currently completing a 24-month development path, consisting of a series of engaging development workshops whilst being individually mentored by our most senior female leaders. - For all roles in central corporate functions we have set and agreed targets with our external recruitment agency partners to increase the female representation on candidate shortlists. Those are just three of the Group-level initiatives we have in place and there are countless other local initiatives either planned or underway. Just as we will never ‘finish’ our work on diversity at Rubix, our commitment to improving it will never stop. 

This week, Group CEO Franck Voisin and the management committee hosted our annual leadership team meeting in Lisbon. It marked the start of our new chapter, which we are writing together as we take Rubix to the next level. Thanks to all of our colleagues for joining us and congratulations to Rubix UKII for winning the coveted ‘company of the year’ award.

We’re delighted to announce that our CDP score has improved from C to B, placing us ahead of both the global average score and the score for our industry. It’s the latest milestone in our ESG effort and the most recent reminder that although we continue to improve, the work must never stop.

We’re delighted that we have retained our gold EcoVadis rating, which we achieved for the first time last year. Group CEO Franck Voisin commented: “I’m pleased to see that our ongoing efforts on environmental, social and governance issues have been recognised in the latest EcoVadis assessment. We see no finish line when it comes to ESG and I look forward to working with my colleagues as we build on this great result.”

We’re pleased to announce two promotions to the board as Franck Voisin and Katy Phillips are appointed Group CEO and Group CFO respectively.    Group Chairman Johan Sleebus commented: “Their passion, and intimate knowledge of our industry and organisation, brings great value to the board. I am pleased we could fill these vital leadership positions from our in-house talent pool and I will enjoy working more closely with them in future.”   Read more: https://lnkd.in/epF9eqQc

We recently launched our diversity, equality and inclusion recruitment campaign. Designed to help us attract people from the widest possible talent pool, it will support our ongoing efforts to offer customers a range of perspectives and knowledge while ensuring we continue to be a unique and forward-thinking service provider.

We’re delighted to announce that we recently acquired the trade and assets of Vökvatengi ehf, an Icelandic fluid power distributor, and Klijn Machines en Gereedschappen BV, a Dutch TGM supplier. These acquisitions, which are part of our network development strategy, enable us to extend our footprint while expanding our existing specialist knowledge and technical expertise.

We are delighted to welcome the Tar and Mayer teams to the Rubix family as we strengthen our tools and general maintenance offer in Hungary. We share a passion and commitment to meeting customer needs and creating value through the application of specialist knowledge and technical expertise.
