Matthew covers all of the UK and works with other technical
managers worldwide. His team are responsible for
maintaining and developing all technical services, plus
monitoring and improving their capability.
Matthew started as a calibration and repair apprentice nearly
30 years ago and has worked in a variety of roles throughout
the business including sales and branch manager. He has
professional qualifications in H&S and management as well
as electronic engineering.
He’s an avid problem solver, whether it be repairing defective
electronic equipment, (which was why he started as an
apprentice) or by providing a solution to a customer’s
calibration requirements. He took on the role within the
technical team to make a difference and deliver some of the
solutions that as an engineer he had wanted for many years
Matthew was given the opportunity to join the BMTA council
when a colleague stepped down. As the largest provider of
calibration services, he is here to share his industry
experience and knowledge gained not just from the UK but
from the worldwide Trescal activities.
Working in the testing, calibration, inspection and
certification sector has developed his keen interest in
quality management and the benefits it can provide to
organisations and their customers when it is appropriately
and consistently applied.
