As an industrial laboratory we understand the need for quick and sensible solutions with a clear communication throughout. We pride ourselves on providing a high standard of customer service and take the approach of providing a ‘value added’ service i.e. we tend not to just report the analytical results but we can offer recommendations and context oriented interpretation where this is required at the process change or work instruction level as required. We do this by closely working confidentially with customers to understand their needs and processes in detail, delivering timely practical solutions.
