Peter Lunn is the new head of HR at BNFL Environmental Services, the
business group engaged in decommissioning. In his new role he will have
responsibility for all aspects of the company’s HR function in the UK and
across Continental Europe.

The organisation employs more than 1,200 staff and Lunn has
also been charged with refining and developing HR policy, as well as delivering
improvements in flexible working.

"BNFL is going through an immense transformation. As we
move into the commercial arena, my challenge will be to ensure our HR policies
and initiatives are shaped and refined appropriately," he says.

He joins from industrial gases company Air Products, where he
was HR manager in the UK and then France.

During his time in Europe, Lunn worked on a wide range of HR
issues including negotiations over the French 35-hour week.

Forming a commercially focused business from staff drawn
together from different parts of the company will be a key challenge for Lunn,
who has an industrial economics degree from Nottingham University: "The HR
team’s key challenge lies in helping to build a common culture and a shared
loyalty – the first essential elements in achieving business goals," he
explains.

Lunn wants to build a winning team that uses its skills and
expertise effectively in the competitive marketplace for nuclear
decommissioning.

"I’m looking forward to the challenge of change. We have
to move quickly to position ourselves to compete successfully in an open
market. I like striving to channel people’s skills and talents to satisfy
personal ambitions and the needs of the business. HR can be stressful, but
never boring," he adds.
