Welcome to the December/January Edition of Business Enquirer Magazine, Issue 144
As we close one year and enter the next, industries across the world continue to move forward with purpose, innovation and resilience. The pace of change shows no sign of slowing, and the organisations shaping tomorrow are those investing in people, technology and long-term strength today. This edition highlights the companies and leaders pushing that progress forward, each contributing to a smarter, more connected and more ambitious global future.
We open with Capital Limited, a remarkable success story in mining services. From beginning with two rigs at Tanzania’s Kabanga Nickel Project in 2005, the company now operates more than 140 rigs across over 20 countries. Its growth has been driven by strong leadership, long-term partnerships and an unwavering focus on quality. For Damien Valente, the newly appointed Business Development Manager, joining Capital was a natural step after following its journey since the start. His focus now is on strengthening established regions and exploring emerging markets, reinforcing the balanced growth strategy that defines Capital’s global momentum.
This issue also features our Top 10 Operational Leaders Driving Efficiency, recognising individuals who are redefining operational excellence through smarter systems, stronger processes and performance cultures that deliver meaningful impact.
We explore PepsiCo’s global S/4HANA transformation programme, a change that goes far beyond technology. Krita Kataria, Transformation Director at PepsiCo, shares insights shaped by nearly three decades inside the business. Her experience across supply chain, procurement and now ERP transformation reflects what happens when scale, discipline and people are treated as equal priorities in a transformation of this magnitude.
We also spotlight Rheinmetall UK, a company investing at scale to strengthen Britain’s sovereign defence capability and industrial resilience. From the new Gun Hall facility in Telford to next-generation autonomy and uncrewed systems, Rheinmetall UK is supporting the Ministry of Defence’s long-term vision while creating high-value jobs, revitalising supply chains and restoring critical manufacturing capability to the UK.
Alongside these headline features, this edition includes many more stories of leadership, innovation and purpose from across global industry.
