EXECUTIVE INTERVIEW

“It is exciting working with the Tempo team, delivering
the latest IT infrastructure solutions. At the core
of Tempo’s operating model is a commitment
to customer responsiveness that motivates our
IT resources to make a positive contribution to
Tempo’s success at every opportunity.” - Jim Loader,
Managing Director, Stott Hoare

works in the geo-fencing and micro-
fencing space, that is allowing us to use
technology to report and drive site
safety and productivity.”

He defines the company’s growth as
being geared towards quality not
quantity. With its focus on productivity,
efficiency and safety, Max wants to see
Tempo as the leading niche player in
maintenance and construction
solutions in the resources world; the
change agent everyone reaches out to.

Having acquired Australian company
Cablelogic in 2016, Tempo can further
enhance its offering to clients, as well

as diversify its client base. “We are very
much a resources-based organisation,
and have been founded out of mining
and oil and gas. But acquiring
Cablelogic means we can now work in
the maintenance and construction
space and also differentiate our
services into the industrial and
commercial sector,” says Max.

Key to the success of Tempo, are its
suppliers — the organisations whose
specialties span across all services. Max
believes the relationships Tempo has
with its providers helps to shape its
future. “We have strong relationships
with all of them and engage with them
much like we engage with our
workforce, to be sure we are aligned in
purpose and intent.”

When asked about the company’s
vision for future growth, Max states his
focus is on Tempo’s purpose instead.

“That is to deliver to our clients in the
resources and industrial commercial
sector, specialist multidisciplinary
maintenance and construction
services,” he explains.

“We are very much client-focused
and we absolutely want to be sure
that our purpose is that of protecting
and enhancing the investments of
our clients.”

Max’s enthusiasm for his relatively
new role at Tempo is clear, with
the self-confessed ‘workaholic’
admitting, “I love my job and I love
this industry; everything that is
related to construction in general
gets me excited. People talk about
work–life balance and we all have a
different take on what this should be.
There is no right or wrong balance.
I would say that, in my case, my work is
my play and my play is work.”
