Candid Conversation… Collaboration and Growth

As we continue to mark 25 years of Vital Energi, Group CFO - Cécile Parker, ESG Director - Anne Johnstone, and Marketing & Communications Director - Abby Whitelock are joined by Lucy Graham - Partner at Corran Capital, to reflect on personal growth, business evolution, and what long‑term collaboration makes possible.

A key theme throughout the discussion is that careers are rarely linear. Setbacks are part of the journey, progress can be uneven, and growth often comes from learning to navigate uncertainty. As Lucy shares, “No one is more invested in your future than you”, a reminder of the importance of ownership, resilience and self‑belief.

The conversation also looks at how Vital Energi has developed over its 25‑year history. While the business has grown in scale and capability, it has retained the entrepreneurial spirit that continues to shape how teams work together and respond to challenge.

That growth has enabled greater impact. From investing in people to supporting the UK’s sustainability, progress brings responsibility as well as opportunity.

Watch the video below to hear Cécile, Anne, Lucy and Abby share their perspectives on growth, resilience and the value of working together.
