Episode 2 features Christopher Boyle, the Executive Chair and Managing Director of Fabrum, a Christchurch-based company leading the way in engineering and cryogenic technology.

The conversation delves into the transformative potential of hydrogen as a clean energy source, dispelling myths and highlighting its role in decarbonising heavy industries such as aviation and mining. Christopher’s passion for pushing boundaries is evident as he discusses Fabrum’s exponential growth, from 30 employees three years ago to over 110 employees today, driven by a commitment to local talent and fostering a culture of innovation.

As Christopher reflects on his personal ethos and adventurous spirit, the podcast offers a glimpse into the mindset behind Fabrum’s success.
