Lewis Jones joins SES as Prism general manager after a 30-year career with Laing O'Rourke in which he oversaw an array of engineering, plant, joinery, manufacturing and offsite projects both in the UK and the Middle East.
Based at Prism鈥檚 manufacturing facility in Huntington, York, he heads a 60-strong team that has prefabricated mechanical & electrical components for Drax power station, the Queensferry Crossing and London鈥檚 King鈥檚 Cross redevelopment.
鈥淥ur dream is to realise, alongside our clients, the true time and cost benefits of early offsite involvement on projects designed and built with high-end standardised prefabrication at their heart; true component-led design,鈥� he said of his new job.
Jason Knights, recently promoted to managing director of SES, said: 鈥淟ewis鈥� 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.鈥�
He added: 鈥淧rism鈥檚 innovative alternative to labour-intensive, time consuming on-site production and assembly, has been a cornerstone of SES鈥� success and we believe the continued expansion of Prism has the capacity to redefine the possibilities of offsite.鈥�
