IAH Conference 2013

Catchments and catch-ups!

With a focus on groundwater and catchment management, this year's IAH Conference in Tullamore provided an excellent opportunity for Waterra-In-Situ to highlight its ability to support the multi-disciplinary approach needed to make this process work.

We were delighted to be able to demonstrate a range of monitoring and sampling equipment from the simplest of bailers, through a number of low flow sampling options, to our latest and superb offering, the SMARTROLL MP Handheld and  iSitu™ Smartphone App.

The Waterra-In-Situ stand packed full of exciting
groundwater sampling and monitoring equipment.

Tom Stone and Tim Davies were kept immensely busy during the conference providing product demonstrations and providing advice on a wide variety of sampling and monitoring questions. Judging by their expenses claims this support must have carried on through the wee small hours!  They claim it was something to do with the craic!

Tim Davies – This is Your Life!

A milestone has been reached by one of Waterra-In-Situ's team

The good old days of sampling
... and hair  cuts

We didn’t have Eamonn Andrews or Michael Aspel to do the honours but we did recently celebrate the 20th anniversary of Tim Davies joining the Waterra-In-Situ team.

Lots of things have changed since that auspicious day back in 1992; our product range, our offices and most notably Tim’s hairstyle, but we are pleased to say he is as enthusiastic in his dealings with customers as ever.
Tim has built up a considerable knowledge of water quality monitoring products and, importantly, he knows how to use them in the field.  This means he can be relied upon to answer both sales calls and customer support requests with great authority. He's also passing on his knowledge to our new colleague in Inside Sales, Mark Tanner. By the way, despite the evidence of the photo, Tim now claims that he does not own a pair of jeans.

From Tim’s perspective the market has changed beyond all recognition:

“The sophistication of the equipment that we have available for customers today makes the instruments we first sold look like something from the Stone Age.  We can offer fantastic levels of accuracy, durability and ease of use – the challenge is maintaining our understanding of specifications and deployment options so we can best advise our clients.”

Older and wiser

Many of you will have spoken with Tim on the telephone or met in him in person at our training courses but there are some things about him that we bet you didn't know.

Firstly, he is a Duke of Edinburgh Bronze and Silver Expedition Leader who gives up a lot of his spare time to support local youth groups.

Secondly, and very unexpectedly, he has a City and Guilds qualification in Cake Decorating – although we have never got to actually test out the validity of this award.

And finally, ahh: he has just ordered his first pair of varifocal glasses.  A sign of exactly how long he has been around. We estimated Tim's been here for 39,000 hours, which equates to 42,000 cups of tea based on in-depth analysis of the kitchen output!

Congratulations for lasting out this long Tim.  May your next twenty years be equally fruitful.

To benefit from Tim's experience call our technical support team today on +44 (0)121 733 7743.
