Project Management Analyst, Johnson Matthey

In recent times, the business has struggled with issues related to over-expansion - including an unprofitable battery materials division and inefficient management. However, by reducing its administrative headcount, slimming down to its core business and focusing on emerging green technologies, Johnson Matthey has moved to reduce costs and compete more effectively against major rivals such as Croda and Ceres.

A return to the FTSE 100 in 2022 demonstrated that this response was paying dividends, showcasing the company's ability to adapt its approach when needed. With its core business booming, Johnson Matthey is focusing on research into sustainable catalysts and renewable fuel cell technology which will enable it to contribute further to the green economy.
