Celebrating 40 years in business

Last week, our staff from all four group companies – Gill Instruments, Gill Sensors & Controls, Gill R&D and Labcal – came together to celebrate 40 years in business. The typically rainy British summer did little to dampen the joyous mood.

Our CEO, Alan Brooke, took the opportunity to say a few words:

“We started 40 years ago as a family-run, innovative engineering company. Today, we continue that, growing into a global organisation, supplying advanced measurement systems to a growing customer base in over 73 countries and spanning many industries and markets. Yet our core values have remained unchanged.”

Over the past 12 months, Gill has gone from strength to strength and to mention just a few:

• Officially receiving ISO 45001 certification further reinforcing our commitment to health, safety and well-being in the workplace;
• Announcing a partnership with DC21 Operations to optimise wind turbine performance;
• Seeing WindSonic anemometers installed on the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, for wind measurements across the building;
• Deploying compact weather stations on marine buoys for coastal monitoring;
• And culminating with a King’s Award for Enterprise.

Alan added:
“This is an opportunity to celebrate each one of you and to thank you, as well as to share our remarkable achievements with our partners and customers. Your hard work and commitment to delivering high-quality products to our global customers has been outstanding. I look forward to the coming years as I know there are many more achievements to come.”
