Setbacks are part of the journey, progress can be uneven, and growth often comes from learning to navigate uncertainty. As Lucy shares, \u201cNo one is more invested in your future than you\u201d, a reminder of the importance of ownership, resilience and self\u2011belief.<\/p>\n<p>The conversation also looks at how Vital Energi has developed over its 25\u2011year history. While the business has grown in scale and capability, it has retained the entrepreneurial spirit that continues to shape how teams work together and respond to challenge.<\/p>\n<p>That growth has enabled greater impact. From investing in people to supporting the UK\u2019s sustainability, progress brings responsibility as well as opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>Watch <strong>the video below <\/strong>to hear C\u00e9cile, Anne, Lucy and Abby share their perspectives on growth, resilience and the value of working together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wrap rich-text-video__wrap-container\">\n<div class=\"rich-text-video__cover js-play-text-video lazyload\" style=\"background-image:url('\/media\/ya2cubdz\/thumb-16.jpg?center=0.46107506950880445,0.50690819879488769&mode=crop&width=1005&height=565&rnd=134217648849330000')\"><\/div>\n<p><button class=\"play-video js-play-rich-text-video\"> <span class=\"font-ico-play\"><\/span> <\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"rich-text-video__cover-video-wrap js-video\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ufeff Candid Conversation\u2026 Collaboration and Growth As we continue to mark 25 years of Vital Energi, Group CFO – C\u00e9cile Parker, ESG Director – Anne Johnstone, and Marketing & Communications Director – Abby Whitelock are joined by Lucy Graham – Partner at Corran Capital, to reflect on personal growth, business evolution, and what long\u2011term collaboration […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2376,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"ve_media_section":[3],"ve_media_year":[9],"ve_sector":[],"class_list":["post-3668","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","ve_media_section-press-releases","ve_media_year-9"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vitalenergi.creativespark.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3668","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vitalenergi.creativespark.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vitalenergi.creativespark.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitalenergi.creativespark.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitalenergi.creativespark.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3668"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/vitalenergi.creativespark.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3668\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitalenergi.creativespark.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2376"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vitalenergi.creativespark.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3668"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitalenergi.creativespark.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3668"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitalenergi.creativespark.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3668"},{"taxonomy":"ve_media_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitalenergi.creativespark.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fve_media_section&post=3668"},{"taxonomy":"ve_media_year","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitalenergi.creativespark.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fve_media_year&post=3668"},{"taxonomy":"ve_sector","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitalenergi.creativespark.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fve_sector&post=3668"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
