Lord Jones said: "It's an absolute privilege to be appointed chairman of Metalfloor. SMEs are the lifeblood and engine room of our country. Those in public life, and involved only in big business, can easily work in a bubble divorced from the real world and ignorant of the issues that challenge smaller businesses daily.

"I shall learn from Metalfloor just as, hopefully, they'll benefit from what I can bring to the party. Here's to a great future!"

The company's financial director, Jacqui Ward, added: "Lord Jones has joined us at an important stage, where Metalfloor UK is undergoing a period of sustained growth. We're looking forward to the opportunities and challenges this exciting new appointment will deliver."
