ooks can be deceiving. First glance
at Garry Lofthouse’s modest office
within a discreet brick building tucked
away in a quiet corner of Stokesley
Business Park might easily lead the unwitting
to believe this was a small insurance or
accountancy firm.
In fact, Garry is director and chief strategist
for what are right now two of the Tees
region’s most exciting, innovative businesses.
Think cutting-edge technology that drives
the world’s most advanced submarines
meets autonomous robotic systems that
have global brand leaders purring and you’ll
start to get the picture.
Garry formed his company, Applied
Integration, with fellow directors Roy
Coleman, Lee Raywood and Graham King
13 years ago. Experienced engineering
colleagues at Tees-based industrial
automation specialists ASR Technology, each
had the dream of running their own business.
Together they launched Applied Integration
with a view to slowly growing the business
by building a steady stream of clients across
Teesside and beyond. >>
