Bring the Energy

With a combination of new leadership and experienced employees, Lamprell builds on an impressive legacy

You'll have to excuse lan Prescott for being, well, energetic about Lamprell. The company's new ownership and new board brought Prescott a veteran of four decades in the energy sector on as CEO in April, and while he quickly learned there was a lot of hard work ahead, he also recognized that Lamprell carried a great legacy in the industry.

"It has a great reputation in terms of health and safety and also quality," Prescott told BOSS about the UAE-based company which has been serving key oil and gas clients for nearly 50 years and the renewables clients for around 15 years. "I wanted to build upon that, rebuilding that brand and making sure we emphasize it." He also discovered that while there were a lot of new faces in management, around 1,000 of Lamprell's approximately 6,000 employees have been with the company for more than 15 years.

That legacy wasn't a thing of the past, it was a living one embodied by the Lamprell workforce.

And while Prescott won't be joining the ranks of "Lamprell's Got Talent" contestants who showcase their skills outside of work in a company-wide competition, he can't stop singing the praises of the people who built that reputation.

As he worked to rebuild relationships with clients and win new business, he leaned on that reputation.

“I’m very pleased to say in a relatively short space of time, the team has managed to secure over $1 billion worth of new business, which is obviously fantastic for the organization and a great credit to all of our people.”

Areas of Expertise

That legacy built Lamprell into one of the key EPCI contractors in the Middle East and across the globe. The firm first got involved in renewable energy projects in 2007 and in 2023 rolled out a production line servicing the wind farm development sector.
