Jones Engineering has been awarded the Sir Roland Burke Trophy for 2008, and is in recognition for a sustained contribution in a particular sector of farm machinery.

The Burke Trophy has been awarded annually for the past 26 years, and this year the judges considered Jones Engineering to be a worthy winner.

“Customers of Jones Engineering commented on their exemplary service support and continuous development and improvement throughout the range of products” said Matt Home, Honorary Consulting Engineer.
