I was always into gadgets and gizmos from a very early age.

Mfon
I don’t think I, as a child, sat there and thought, yeah, I’m going to be an engineer.
[Video footage]
Close-up shots of his hands taking a cable out of the case and connecting it to the console. A view of him speaking, seated in front of a garden.
Mfon
What I do remember was always building things, taking them apart, so maybe that was an early sign of what was to come in the future.
[Video footage]
Approaching from behind as he sits at his desk next to a lamp in front of a window revealing his garden at dusk. Close-ups of his hand drawing, holding his chin thoughtfully, then a view over his shoulder of a technical diagram on a large piece of paper that he is working on.
Mfon
I work in the UK E-Mobility team, supporting the delivery of the Future Fuels agenda.
[Video footage]
Looking up at him standing outside in a hi-vis jacket, holding the large sheet of paper. A view from behind his right side of an architectural plan on the paper. A view from behind of him wearing a hardhat, watching construction through a site fence. A digger drags hardcore into a trench.
Mfon
You have to be willing to adopt new technologies, new ways of doing things.
[Video footage]
Shots of him still in a hi-vis jacket, inspecting the chargers at a Shell charging station. Another shot of him speaking in front of the garden.
Mfon
There are people out there who want to move to cleaner energy, but they are worried that the network is just not available. It’s options. By building a network, you give people options.
[Video footage]
Ground-level shot of a car pulling up. He gets out of the car and approaches the same charging station. Close-ups of him removing a charger, then opening the socket cover on the car and inserting it.
Mfon
Clearly, there’s a responsibility to ensure that I do my bit to help create a better environment for the future generations.
[Video footage]
Another shot looking up at him standing outside, studying the large diagram. He looks up, appearing to gaze into the distance.
