    Ross Thorne Operations Director

    Having completed an advanced level electrical and mechanical engineering apprenticeship in the Steel industry Ross moved into the automation industry developing plc, robotic handling, and assembly solutions.

    As a highly experience plc programmer and controls engineer a move into the manufacturing industry enabled development of a wider set of skills supporting plc control and electrical systems for high speed printing presses and bottling lines.

    Later starting his own company Ross worked with clients across a broader range of market sectors and applications developing control systems, modifying and fault finding pre-installed plant and providing ongoing support.

    After a successful spell undertaking contract work for The Food Machinery Group Ross joined their experienced team in 2018 as Operations Director to oversee manufacture of robotic and automated systems, developing software for a large array of equipment and continuing FMC’s and Sipro’s long tradition of providing client requested functionality to exacting standards.
