The advantages of working for small medium enterprise (SME): In conversation with Chloé Bayliss of Cornish Lithium

In this week’s podcast, Sunny Lalli and Nicky Hutchinson, Employability and Career Consultants, are joined by Chloé Bayliss of Cornish Lithium.

In this episode Chloé as then Stakeholder Engagement Coordinator and now Senior ESG Coordinator at Cornish Lithium, discusses some of the work roles at Cornish Lithium and the experience of working in a small medium enterprise (SME). In this conversation Chloé draws on her own experience to differentiate the experience of working in a small medium enterprise with working at larger enterprises.

Cornish Lithium is a private British mineral exploration company focussed on the sustainable extraction of lithium and other battery metals in the historically significant mining district of Cornwall, UK. These metals can be utilised to the global goal of decarbonisation through clean growth and a transition to a green economy. Thus, supporting UN sustainability goals of affordable and clean energy (goal seven), and climate action (goal thirteen).
