Every day, the people of Veolia work hard to deliver essential services across the UK and Ireland – whether that’s by sorting waste to be recycled, treating wastewater to be reused, providing clean energy to customers and communities or supporting all activities from our corporate offices. But with 14,000 resourcers across over 400 sites, it’s hard to keep up with all the amazing things that our people do…
That is why we’ve created Veolia’s ‘Our People’ Podcast. In each episode, we’ll sit down with our colleagues, heading into the heart of our business and celebrating the brilliant work they achieve. Through real, open and honest conversations, we’re going behind the scenes to find out what drives our resourcers to do the work they do.

The Veolia team fueling Ireland’s data centre expansion
Every time we stream, search or scroll, data centres are working in the background to keep everything connected. But what it takes to power them and the energy centres behind them is something most of us never see.
In this episode of Our People Podcast, Beth Krucien speaks with Brian Curtis, General Manager at Veolia Energy Services Ireland, from Veolia’s new energy centre in Clondalkin, outside Dublin.
Brian explains how the site generates and supplies power to data centres, what makes the process so efficient, and why this work is critical in a world that never stops using data. He also shares the story of the people behind the site, from experienced Veolia colleagues to new team members learning and growing in a fast-moving sector.
Listen now to hear how Veolia Ireland is helping lead the way in keeping the energy centres that fuel data centres running.

When Teams Go The Extra Mile. Literally.
When a critical pump fails at a customer's busiest site just days before Christmas - and the people who need to fix it are all on annual leave - what happens next?
In this episode of Our People Podcast from Veolia, we head north of the border to hear a brilliant story of remote collaboration, calm decision-making and trusted teamwork under real pressure.
Stewart McKenzie, Business Development Lead for Building Energy Services North, takes the call while driving south on holiday. Ryan McGuinness, Pump Centre Supervisor at Hatton Waste Water Treatment Works, is also off.
The customer? A drinks manufacturer facing a complete production shutdown in their peak week. The clock is ticking.
What follows is a masterclass in how great teams operate when it matters most - coordinating across distance, communicating clearly under pressure, and backing each other to get the job done. From workshop to van to site, with a few unexpected technical challenges thrown in along the way.
Stewart and Ryan also reflect on what this moment meant for the wider customer relationship - and why working with customers, not just for them, opens doors.
