Tadcaster manufacturer strengthens senior team supporting £50m '2025 vision'

A Yorkshire manufacturer of intelligent factory automation systems has launched its new Vision strategy, aiming to help double turnover to £50m by 2025.

Lambert, which employs 170 people at its facility in Tadcaster, is looking to tap into the opportunities presented by industrial digitisation, as it looks to grow its market share across medical and consumer healthcare.

The company has made two senior appointments to help it achieve its objectives, with Mike Lewis joining the board of directors as head of innovation and Sean Lynch as associate projects director.

Mike, who joined in 2011, will take complete ownership of the firm’s product and process innovation going forward, identifying opportunities where automation can deliver improvements in productivity for its global customer base.

“We will invest over £500k into our product and service offering in 2019 and this will position us at the forefront of leading technologies in our marketplace,” said Warren Limbert, managing director.

“In order to make the most of this financial commitment, it is absolutely critical that we have clear leadership and the appointments of Mike and Sean reflect this.”

Sean Lynch has led the programme management team at Lambert during the last 12 months, delivering various projects.

Warren concluded: “Vision 2025 is ambitious, but one that we know we are more than capable of reaching.

“We are pushing aside the uncertainty around Brexit to focus on the things we do best and putting in place the skills and leadership needed to continue to deliver industry-leading automation.”
