The boss of a Midlands engineering business is stepping down after clocking up more than 30 years with the company.

Steve Slater joined Burton-upon-Trent-based Lorien Engineering Solutions as a process engineer more than three decades ago.

In that time he has held various position at the company, culminating in a 13-year spell as managing director.

Now Steve has announced that he is retiring from the company after 34 years.

He said: "I feel truly privileged to have worked with such a talented and committed team and shared so many experiences and successes. Leaving Lorien will evoke mixed emotions as I look forward to the next phase of my life, but I know the company is in very safe hands.

"As a business we have placed great emphasis on succession planning over recent years with the formation and continuous development of senior leadership teams in the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ and Poland. This puts us in a strong position for the future."

Lorien specialises in capital projects for food, brewing, drinks, life sciences, advanced manufacturing and logistics.

David Mallinson will succeed Steve as group managing director following his promotion to º£½ÇÊÓÆµ managing director 12 months ago. He now takes overall responsibility for Lorien's operations in the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ, Poland and South Africa.
