The chairman of Jones Bros Civil Engineering UK has been awarded an MBE for services to the economy in Wales.

Huw Jones was awarded the honour as part of the Queen's Birthday Honours list.

Jones Bros, which employs more than 500 people, is currently working on contracts in various sectors including highways, flood and marine defence, waste management and renewable energy around the UK.

Mr Jones said: "I have been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to lead and develop an organisation through steady growth over a number of years.

"My focus has remained on the longer term view and central to this is the development of the people and businesses employed and associated with us and the wider benefits that can bring to our communities.

"Being North Wales born and bred and living here all my life, I have always seen so much potential and opportunity in this area as well as the wider Welsh region. We are a nation of capable, committed and resourceful people and I am very keen to ensure that opportunities don’t pass the region and its residents by.

"I have been lucky enough to take part on various boards and committees with CITB, CECA, ICE and the CBI enabling me to have the ability to represent the region and its economy.

"I am very fortunate to have a fantastically dedicated and able team of people working with me, many of whom have been graduates of our various training programmes and are now directors and senior managers of the organisation.

"I see no limit to what we can achieve here in Wales and take an ambitious view of the possibilities provided we invest in training and development, work in collaboration and commit to our goals."
