I help provide customers with analytical solutions on the GC/MS and LC/MS instrumentation sold by Anatune. I have experience in many sample enrichment techniques which is a key area to my role.

I then worked at the other end of the size scale working in the semi-conductor industry whith probes that touched down on pads less than a hair's width apart. Both jobs required travelling all over the world to install and maintain the equipment.

Ray
Perkins
Managing Director

I formed Anatune in February 1996.

Chemistry underpins just about everything that matters and in chemistry, you can only make progress if you can measure things properly.

Much of what our customers need to measure is "only just possible". Anatune provides not only the instrumentation needed, but also excellent support that enables our customers to push the limits of what chemistry can do for us all.

In this context, my job is to build, maintain and support a great team of professional chemists, engineers and business people.

It is my responsibility to ensure that Anatune has a clear business strategy, that everyone here understands what they have to do to make our plans happen and why this matters.

I have a strong commitment to the personal and professional development of everyone that works here. 

I feel honoured that so many great people are willing work with me!
