Our R&D Director Peter Grocutt recently celebrated 40 years with the company. Peter was Linkam’s first employee in 1984 when the company was based in Arnold’s, our founder’s, converted garage. He was recruited to develop the electronics in our instruments, and soon designed our first microprocessor driven units. Since then, Peter has had to demonstrate his ‘all round’ skills as the company, and technology, has evolved. A key to Peter’s longevity has been enjoying his work and always being open to new projects; he has played a fundamental role in developing our products, something that has helped the company to grow to over 50 employees, and with offices in the UK and Holland. As a mark of our appreciation, the company will be sending Peter on a break to Portugal where he can enjoy two of his passions, golf and fine dining.
