New Appointment Signals UK growth at Seal Analytical

Seal Analytical, a leading manufacturer of automated nutrient analysers and sample digestion systems, has announced the appointment of Rob Hardy as UK Sales Manager. "With a Masters degree in Chemistry and experience as a research chemist, Rob has a good understanding of the needs of our customers, so we are delighted that he has joined our UK team," said Seal President Stuart Smith. "Working from our new facilities in Southampton, Fareham, our UK business is performing extremely well, and Rob's appointment will help us to fulfil the next stage of our growth plan."

After working as a researcher in the chemical industry, Rob studied Chemistry at Newcastle University, and completed a thesis on the synthesis of novel catalysts. He has since worked in a variety of positions; all focused on meeting the needs of analytical laboratories. “In recent years, my role has been to help laboratories develop sample preparation and analysis chemistries to meet their specific needs. Many of these labs have worked in the environmental sector so, coupled with the comprehensive training that I have already received from Seal, I am well placed to help and advise both academic and commercial labs on how to develop bespoke solutions to their analytical needs.”
