Owner – Ian Skelhorne
I have an extensive background in Mechanical Engineering and I have been working in that field for more than 25 years within the gas turbine packaging field. In that time I have led several large gas turbine installation projects for well-known oil and gas customers, led successful large scope business R&D programs to develop new products for the company and as my career progressed have held various leadership roles within the engineering team in Mt Vernon, Ohio most recently as Head of Mechanical Design for the R&D team. In early 2018 it was decided by my employer that the site in Ohio would be closed. Manufacturing had been steadily moved to Europe over the previous 2 years and site closure was a natural progression. My wife and I (also an engineer and also working at the company) were both offered relocation to another company site but chose to decline. It was time for something different.
