Havin started his career with Shell Research Ltd, he has gone on to oversee projects for a range of projects in the UK and overseas. Most recently he was engineering director in corporate engineering for Amgen Inc.

Andrew Stevenson also joins the BPE team in the role of design lead. Interestingly he is the second BPE employee named Andrew Stevenson and both even have the same middle name.

Liesel Butler joins BPE as a project engineer, while Barney Thornton and Jack Plested take on the roles of graduate process engineers.

For us, there have been several significant project wins over the last 12 months as our clients look to expand and update their facilities. These latest appointments signify our commitment to ensuring we have the very best team as we continue to expand.”
