SES Engineering Services has appointed Lewis Jones as General Manager of its Prism Offsite Manufacturing facility.

Having joined SES after a 30 year career with Laing O'Rourke, Mr Jones will be based at Prism's dedicated offsite manufacturing facility in Huntington, York.

During his time at Laing O'Rourke, Mr Lewis oversaw an array of engineering, plant, joinery, manufacturing and offsite projects both in the UK and the Middle East.


As part of his new role, Mr Lewis will oversee Prism's continued expansion and says he is excited about the challenge ahead.

"In my short time here, I've been extremely impressed by the whole team, its commercial awareness and the outstanding level of innovation coming from the factory floor," he said.

"However, where Prism and SES have truly exceeded is in their ability to transfer those ideas into demonstrable and game-changing time, cost, logistical and safety benefits. We have a network of offsite ambassadors across the business, championing the cause because they've seen what can be delivered."

Jason Knights, SES' Managing Director, said: "We welcome Lewis to the team. Lewis' appointment is strategically important as it reflects the importance and commitment we place in offsite manufacturing, which is at the heart of our three-year growth plan."
