From Engineer to First Time CEO: Alan Brooke’s Journey
On this episode of the Manufacturing Matters podcast, I’m delighted to welcome Alan Brooke, CEO of Gill Group.
Alan’s career spans a diverse range of organisations—from privately owned businesses to global blue-chips like Wärtsilä and Danaher. His journey from engineering and operational leadership to the CEO seat is a testament to curiosity, adaptability, and a relentless drive for growth.
Today, Alan leads Gill Group, a proudly family-owned business celebrating its 40th anniversary and recently honoured with the prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade. Under his stewardship, Gill has expanded its global footprint, launched new ventures such as Gill Corporate Inc in the U.S., and continued to innovate across its four core businesses.
In this conversation, Alan shares what it takes to transition from functional leadership to the top job, the lessons learned as a first time CEO, and how Gill Group is continuing to shape its market.
