The newly appointed COO graduated from Aberdeen’s Robert Gordon University in 1989 with a BA (HONS) in Electromechanical Engineering and has over 30 years of experience in the energy sector.
‘Extremely glad to be back’
Lamprell says that upon his return, Mr Millar will be responsible for “reviewing the organisation’s operating structure, streamlining our organisational and yard processes and creating cost optimisation efficiencies in the business.”
The new appointment wrote on social media: “I am extremely glad to be back at Lamprell after a six-year absence, working alongside both old colleagues as well as new.
“I especially look forward to work with Ian Prescott, our new CEO, with all the knowledge and experience he will bring to the organisation.”

Mr Prescott spent three years as senior VP with the contractor in Malaysia. He’s also held senior roles with SNC-Lavalin and Global Process Systems.
The firm has also been making waves in the UK offshore wind sector, having won a handful of contracts in the space recently.
In September, Lamprell landed a deal worth up to £200m for jackets and kit for the Moray West wind farm off Scotland.
The firm also previously won work on Seagreen, Scotland’s largest wind farm, and Moray East, for some emphasising a lack of UK manufacturing content in these projects.
