Siemens UK & Ireland has appointed Alwyn Jones as its new Vertical Sector Head for Pharmaceutical & Life Sciences, to deliver its business strategy for the sector.

Alwyn is joining the Pharmaceutical team following four years as an Account Development Manager for the Environmental Power sector, where he helped to secure specification for Siemens UK & Ireland on a number of strategic Energy from Waste projects, working in collaboration with customers and solution partners.

Prior to that, Alwyn worked for a couple of Siemens UK & Ireland’s solution partners who primarily serviced the Pharmaceutical and other ‘highly regulated’ sectors, where he acquired a wealth of experience to equip him for his new role.

Mike Houghton, Managing Director of Process Industries & Drives at Siemens UK & Ireland comments: “This new appointment will strengthen our approach to the UK & Ireland pharmaceuticals market, ensuring we continue to offer the support and solutions our customers in that sector need.

“We have strong sector specialist teams operating across the business and we would like to wish Alwyn every success for the future as he joins these and takes on his new position.”

Alwyn Jones said: “I am very much looking forward to working in collaboration with customers from across the Pharmaceutical industry to deliver solutions to help solve key business issues in this sector.

“My background has given me a thorough understanding of the challenges that manufacturers operating within the Pharma industry face, so I plan to apply this knowledge in my new role.”
