Pontypool-based Pro Steel Engineering has appointed highly experienced structural steel professional Alan Stone as its new Production Director, further strengthening the company’s leadership team to support its continued growth and long-term ambitions.
Alan joins the business bringing more than 30 years of experience in structural steel fabrication, production management and operational leadership.
In his new role, he will be responsible for overseeing and increasing production capacity and capabilities, while supporting the company’s commitment to quality, system efficiency and project delivery.
Alan’s career spans some of the UK’s most recognised structural steel businesses. He progressed from Works Manager at Graham Wood Structural to Production Manager, before moving to Bourne Steel as Works Manager.

Most recently, Alan served as Associate Production Director at Billington Structures, overseeing production operations, fabrication efficiency, quality and delivery.
His appointment comes as Pro Steel Engineering continues to grow its portfolio across a wide range of sectors, delivering structural steel solutions for industrial, commercial, infrastructure and energy projects throughout the UK.
Recent projects undertaken by the company include the manufacture of steelwork for a replacement bridge destined for Ukraine, supporting the country’s ongoing infrastructure reconstruction efforts, alongside complex engineering projects across energy, renewables, nuclear, defence, aviation, water, and transport sectors.
