With a highly skilled workforce it is able to deliver multi-disciplinary solutions wherever there is engineering complexity. Marc’s appointment underscores the company’s commitment to bringing its first principles approach to new clients in the Oil & Gas, Mining, Renewable and Conventional Energy sectors.

Frazer-Nash places a lot of emphasis on hiring the best talent. Jonathan commented :“We don’t just look for excellent technical skills. We also look for individuals who care deeply and will take ownership of our clients’ problems. The appointment of Marc Lyell to the Business Manager role brings a breadth of experience to the business. With a background that includes time in Oil & Gas, Pharmaceuticals and delivering major infrastructure projects, his passion for solving difficult problems and finding value-add solutions for our clients are qualities that have been the hallmark of our business model for 25 years.”

Commenting on his appointment Marc said: “Frazer-Nash has an enviable reputation for its ability to solve complex engineering problems. I’m thrilled to be part of a team who supports its clients so successfully and concentrates on getting to the heart of a client’s problem”.
