Lockheed Martin today announced Stephen Ball, Managing Director Lockheed Martin UK – INSYS, has been named Vice President and Managing Director with immediate effect. Stephen has been Managing Director of LMUK INSYS since September 2006 and had previously served as the manager of the Combat Systems Division.
“This appointment recognises the great strides LMUK INSYS has made in becoming a significant Mission Area within Lockheed Martin’s Missiles and Fire Control division,” said Ron Abbott, the division's Executive Vice President. “The business is now equal to the size of Missiles and Fire Control's US-based Mission Areas and as such needs a leadership structure that reflects this growth.”

In 2007 the company quadrupled the previous year’s orders and had its first £100M+ order in the first quarter of this year with the Land Environment Air Picture Provision contract award. The company is also steadily expanding its staff footprint with up to 90 new hires annually since 2005.
Ball joined INSYS in 2001 as Head of Business Support and was appointed Operations Director in 2003. Previously, Stephen served twenty-one years with the Civil Service working in HM Government Communications Centre (HMGCC) where he reached the level of Chief Executive Officer. Stephen holds a BSc (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering which he completed whilst training as a student apprentice within the Associated Engineering Group.
