Key Personnel
Managing Director - Paul Stockwell
Paul has spent the last 31 years working with a variety of analysers and analyser systems. He started with oceanographic instrumentation before moving to moisture analysis for process control. IMA was formed in 1991 focusing on moisture measurement in gases, liquids, and solids and has expanded its field of interest to other species. Paul strongly believes that improvements to process efficiency can be made by better measurements.
Paul is always interested to explore new technology that could be applied to one of the first companies to embrace TDL devices. Paul has sat on a variety of working parties and committees primarily with NPL over the years.
