ROLE MODELS INITIATIVE
AXIS Network are always keen to identify and showcase ROLE MODELS working within the energy industry. We aim to promote awareness of success stories so others may be inspired to follow a similar path.
​
We hope the initiative will:
-
Inspire and build confidence
-
Break down stereotypes
-
Help to share practical ideas, experience, learning and best practice for the benefit of both organisations and individuals
We are all role models!
If you would like to be featured, or would like to nominate a friend or colleague, please get in touch info@axisnetwork.co.uk
​
AXIS members can access the Role Models in different ways. It may be through reading their story in a blog or profile, hearing their story at an event, talking to them directly at an event or having them as a mentor.
​
​
We seek to continually develop our role models initiative so we would love to hear your feedback and suggestions.

ROLE MODEL
Joe Robertson is a Contract Specialist at Shell UK, working in the Wells Department, predominantly managing contracts in the Well Interventions portfolio. Joe has been working at Shell for the past 4 years, in various roles in Contracting and Procurement, having previously worked for Wood as a buyer. After suffering with symptoms of depression for almost 10 years, Joe finally spoke up about his mental health struggles with a colleague in 2016, which turned out to be the first step in getting the help he needed to get a formal diagnosis and begin to manage his depression.

ROLE MODEL
Our focus this year in AXIS is to showcase the positive steps that organisations and individuals can take to help address gender balance within their organisations. Quite often those steps cost very little but can have quite a dramatic positive effect. Our Vice Chair, Erica Kinmond wanted to share one of her workplace initiatives with you in the hope that this will encourage others to take steps, whether big or small, which will help lead us towards a more gender balanced industry.
