“My new role at Allett is perfect for me because I love working with a wide range of clients and each one has a different problem to solve. My aim is to build long-term partnerships and to be able to help the clients with all their needs."

Speaking about his new position, Steve Copnall said, "I joined Allett in 2011 and being a mechanical engineer I was drawn to an available development engineering role. During this time I was involved in introducing new company products, carrying out product changes and developing new ideas working alongside customers. Keen to progress within this industry, I registered and completed IEng Incorporated Engineering status to assist with my continued professional development.
