Our Team
Founder and Managing Director of JES Group Ltd, Mr. Viv Johnson has been a visionary force in the industry for over five decades. Starting the company as a welding business focused on pipework fabrication and installation in 1982, he incorporated it in 2015 and then alongside his son and fellow Director Justin, transformed it into a multi-disciplined mechanical engineering firm engaged in major contract work.
Under his astute leadership, the company has grown through meticulous management, an unwavering commitment to quality assurance, and a resolute dedication to safety. These principles have been the bedrock of the company's evolution and success. As Managing Director, he has stepped back from day-to-day operations but continues to provide strategic oversight, leveraging his extensive industry experience to guide the company into an exciting future, poised to meet the demands of the renewable energy sector.
His deep-rooted commitment to Port Talbot and its community has been a guiding light for the company's values. His support for local schools, sports clubs, and charities exemplifies his dedication to the town's development and well-being. This ethos of community support is embedded in the company’s culture, influencing its operations and corporate social responsibility initiatives.
His journey from a hands-on welding entrepreneur to the helm of a thriving mechanical engineering enterprise is a testament to his visionary leadership and deep industry knowledge. His continued
involvement ensures the company remains grounded in its founding principles while acknowledging future opportunities and doing all it can to embrace them.
