A six sigma black belt and a 'teambuilding' enthusiast, he specialises in creating strategies to achieve more efficient and flexible manufacturing operations.
Commenting on his appointment, Davies said the opportunity at Exception EMS was exciting.

'The market seems to be moving back from globalised manufacturing strategies to localised manufacturing strategies, giving flexibility to market demands, ensuring customer service and also reducing inventory'.
Exception Group Chief Executive, Craig Wright states: 'Sion's appointment is a continuation of our strategy to invest in the highest calibre individuals to add value to our growing business'.
'Sion also has developed significant expertise in establishing strong customer service practice from his 15 years at Sony'.
'His skills and planned process improvements at EMS will further support the excellent service EMS provides to its increasingly demanding customers'.
