Episode 3 - Pursuing Efficiency with Technology with Dillan Hackett, Dan Atkins and Nick Rutherford
In today’s episode of Innovation An Endless Pursuit we look at the pursuit of efficiencies and how we can use the technology innovations that are happening across our industry and out in the wider market to provide a faster, cheaper, more efficient service.
This episode dives into the hype of the 4th industrial revolution and asks what benefits it might bring.
If you’re not familiar with it, the 4th industrial revolution is characterised by the interconnectivity of advanced technology, particularly where we cross the boundaries of cyber and physical and biological.
In this episode Chris is joined by three experts at the cutting edge of their respective fields to talk about how the innovations of the 4th industrial revolution like Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain and Robotics are helping both Bristol Water and others in the industry provide more efficient service for their customers.
We hope you enjoy listening to this episode and look forward to hearing what you think of it.
We’re always looking for help and collaboration on our Quest and if you have any comments or thoughts we’d love to hear from you at [email protected].

Dillan Hackett is the Founder of Hackett Consulting Services (HCS), a bespoke Intelligent Automation Consultancy start up.
Dillan is self taught in Software Robotics, or RPA, and before beginning his own company, worked for Symphony Ventures, a globally renowned RPA consultancy.
It was there that he saw a gap in the market for RPA adoption for mid sized enterprises, using fast implementation models and by fostering self-sufficiency for clients; so in 2018 he launched HCS, with the help of Bristol Water’s business incubator ‘The Workshop’. Since then HCS has used The Workshop to help grow its employee and client base. HCS has recently been recognised as a Silver Partner of the RPA Vendor UiPath.
