Senior management appointments

The multi-disciplined engineering and project management business has appointed Phil Colquhoun as head of projects and Jonathan Cannon as process engineering manager. 

The promotions follow a record-breaking year for Burton on Trent-based Lorien, with revenues up by 11% and a best-ever sales performance in 2017.

Both Phil and Jonathan are internal appointments, in keeping with the ethos of the business to develop talent and to promote from within. The new role of head of projects has been created to manage the company’s expanding projects portfolio.

Steve Slater, managing director at Lorien, said: “It’s very pleasing to recognise the development of our people and to reward them with promotions that enable further expansion of the business. I’m sure that both Phil and Jonathan will excel in their new roles.”

Lorien Engineering Solutions, a division of GP Strategies Corporation, specialises in capital projects for food, brewing, drinks, life sciences, advanced manufacturing, logistics and safety compliance.
