Johnson has already worked at Prestwick for eight years, originally as a co-ordinator in the customer services department and thereafter as Manager of the Quick Turnaround Department.

"Introducing new members to established teams encourages a fresh approach to tried and tested practices".
"New talent and ideas are essential for the company's continued development, and to evaluate new manufacturing techniques and processes".
