Fran Hoey

Director of Operational Excellence

Makes

The weekly five-a-side game (running now for 21 years and counting), the more infrequent trips to native Ireland, watching the kids dance, sing, play, laugh….

Breaks

Listening to the kids complain, no fun folk, people who love themselves

What do you do when you’re not working?

I’m kept busy as a taxi driver for my kids, but try to find time to do a spot of five-a-side football and not work on that movie script I’ve always dreamed of writing…

A bit about me

Fran has been in for the long haul. He joined 4OC in 2015, and has ridden the wave of growth, gathering many stories along the way! If you need to mobilise, improve or revolutionise your operation, then Fran is your man. Having been an Operations Director and worked across a number of sectors, particularly working with long-term unemployed, he knows what is important, what works and how you can inspire impactful change. Underpinning all of that is building open and trusting relationships, and normally when you’ve worked with Fran, it’s difficult to shake him off!

In 4OC, Fran has specialised in supporting organisations that are delivering contracts on behalf of the government and its agencies. This has encompassed sectors from Employment Support to Health to Transport to Housing. He leads a long-term project with Transport for London to improve connectivity across its network in order to improve communication and thus safety. Fran has been leading our own drive for excellence and is at his happiest when he is trying to figure out a better way of doing something or asking our Design Shop to come up with a new visualisation method for a project.
