Meet the Team
A small company with a big heart. When we say we care about our people, we really mean it. From tea-addicts to a former university lecturer, we believe that it takes a broad range of people with different skills and experience to enable us to provide the best service for our customers, suppliers and partners alike.
Managing Director
As Managing Director and owner of Analytik, my role is primarily taking responsibility for the overall direction and strategy of the company. We have great people in our team and I take immense satisfaction in playing a part in their development and success both as professionals and individuals. I am very proud to have built something in Analytik which reflects myself personally, has great value to our employees, customers and manufacturing partners, and most of all makes a very real and positive difference and contribution to the world.
I’m too old and battered to play rugby anymore but I watch it at any and every opportunity! I ski with a passion, enjoy cycling and walking, as well as spending time in the countryside, remote, scenic and mountainous places, watching wildlife and experiencing nature first hand. I love to feel close to the amazing natural world in which we live.

Sales Director
Within my role as Sales Director / Sales Specialist, I am responsible for many of Analytik’s product lines. I cover molecular spectroscopy, hyperspectral imaging, piezoelectric dispensing/micro-pipetting systems, 3D bioprinting and digital phenotyping. I consider myself a technical consultant, working with customers to provide a complete solution that best fits with their needs, offering instrument and application knowledge, experience and support at all levels of the sales process.
I am a passionate Liverpool FC fan and have been since I can remember watching football on TV as a child. My general well-being, happiness and mood is dictated by Liverpool’s results and I transform into a totally unrecognisable person when I am watching them play! I love spending time with my wife and children, going away on holidays and eating hot and spicy food. We also have a kitten that completes our family

General Manager
As General Manager, my role is to keep the back office running smoothly so that my sales and service colleagues can do what they do best. I’m responsible for operations generally, for our facilities and for HR and training. Although I regularly tell my colleagues very firmly that I am NOT an accountant, I do have a background in finance, and am responsible for our financial systems and the financial health of the company. I have a passion for making office systems and software run efficiently, so that people can spend as much time doing their jobs as possible, and not trying to fit themselves round poorly-performing systems.
I’ve been married for 33 years – we met at work. We enjoy travelling, almost always for outdoor sports, and have been lucky enough to cover a lot of the globe. Recently we have flown less and driven to France and Belgium with our bikes, enjoying the high mountains of the Alps and the Pyrenees. Every year we have a couple of weekends walking in the Lakes or elsewhere in the UK with a big group of friends.

Sales & Service Engineer
I started with Analytik in Customer Service / Support and took on sales responsibilities with Microfluidics and Laminar while retaining a service/support focus.
I have a background in Chemistry and enjoy learning about and contributing to the wide ranging and varied projects our customers are involved with.
I’m a nerd at heart, I like technical details and learning how things work. One of the reasons I enjoy my job is that I get to catch glimpses of how the world works through our customers and also get to meet some of the top scientists, innovators and engineers in the world along the way. I enjoy tinkering with cars and finding excuses to use my toolkit! I also enjoy getting out into the countryside at home or abroad whenever I can.

Business Support
As Business Support Specialist my role is pivotal to the smooth and efficient running of the Analytik office. I believe my key skills are being well organised, having exceptional attention to detail, outstanding interpersonal skills and great flexibility. Working at Analytik provides me with lots of different challenges and projects, meaning no two days are the same. I love the diversity that this provides as well as the people I work with.
Married with a daughter, I enjoy the balance of working part time and spending quality time with my family. I enjoy gardening and having friends round for a glass of wine (or two) at weekends or curling up and reading a good book when I have time. Having worked in the travel industry for 10 years, I have travelled far and wide but one day would love to hire a Winnebago and travel across America.

Product Specialist
In my role as a sales specialist at Analytik I represent a range of nanoparticle analysers, my role is to assess the needs of our customers and identify the product from our instrument offering which will support and progress their research.
I spent the first decade of my career working in In Vitro drug metabolism and as a result enjoy learning about our customers research and application of our products.
I am a mum to our two year old tortoise Voldetort, and hence I am a massive Harry Potter fan. I also enjoy tennis (from the sofa) and going to Wimbledon most years. I am a keen snowboarder when I get the chance and my partner and I enjoy travelling as much as possible.
My favourite charity:
Marketing Support
My role involves Business Development and Market Research at Analytik. What I enjoy most about my job is that I get to investigate the cutting edge research and markets associated with all of the Analytik products. I particularly like being exposed to new trends and scientific advancements made by our customers as they define the next generation of materials, medical treatments and agricultural research techniques, to name but a few examples.
I enjoy short breaks away throughout the year, from relaxing in Tenerife during the winter, to spending time with friends and family in both Ireland (where I was born) and my current home in Cambridge. In my spare time I enjoy playing golf and going to the gym.

Marketing Manager
As Marketing Manager, my role involves overseeing the marketing function and team; I’m also part of Analytik’s management team. I most enjoy the diversity and constant learning that my role brings, as well as working with such great colleagues. I’d describe myself as passionate, objective and realistic.
An avid animal lover, I enjoy weekends away, drinking tea (Earl or Lady Grey with a splash of milk) and watching my favourite movies for the umpteenth time. When I’m not working I can usually be found watching a history documentary, cuddling my dog or spending time with my family. I’m also a huge MotoGP fan and love to attend races whenever I can!
My favourite charity:
Marketing Assistant
I joined the Analytik team in July 2022 as Marketing Assistant. I am responsible for managing the company social media accounts, content marketing and keeping the website up to date. Additionally, my responsibilities include email marketing, as well as creating and executing marketing campaigns and providing support to the rest of the team.
When I have the time I love to swim and I try to attend my yoga classes regularly, though when the opportunity arises traveling is my favourite activity. I also have a sweet tooth, which encourages me to keep baking new recipes. I am very much a dog person and would like to adopt a little puppy when the time is right.
My favourite charity:
Field Support Specialist
I handle technical support for our instruments, field servicing, and maintenance. Whether I’m on-site or in the office, I’m always on hand to help. My background in molecular biology and experience as a laboratory manager in a brewery have taught me what excellent support looks like and I aim to deliver it now in my role at Analytik.
I love rock climbing an mountain biking but since I’ve moved to the South I’ve mostly substituted those with weight lifting and road biking. My passion for brewing made it easy to segue into baking fermented breads, a hobby which was made exponentially more difficult in 2020 when suddenly everyone started baking! I’ve recently discovered the joy of winter vacations to hot countries and reignited my enthusiasm for windsurfing. I’m also a bit of a nerd; if you ever want to throw a d20 with someone, I’m your guy!

Part of the Business Support team, Louise’s role involves providing a wide range of support in all operational aspects of the company, including but not limited to order processing, logistics, facilities management and IT as well as providing administration and travel arrangement support to the Sales & Service teams.
I am married, mum of two boys and two woofy bears of the dog variety! We love to be outdoors and go to new places whenever the lovely English weather allows! When I have some time to myself, I like to bake, try new crafts, or bury my head in a book.
