To support Shimadzu UK Limited's continuing UK investment programme the Milton
Keynes based instrumentation manufacturer has appointed Dr Robert
Keighley as the company's new Spectroscopy and TOC Business Manager.
Shimadzu UK has invested heavily in recruiting sales personnel and has expanded
the company's sales team to 11 while adding business development managers for
the company's GC, (+GC-MS) LC (+LC-MS) and Spectroscopy product groups.
A veteran of the spectroscopy marketplace, Dr Keighley
has more than 25 years' experience in sales and marketing of molecular and
atomic spectroscopy, analytical ultracentrifugation and DNA sequencing.
Dr Keighley previously worked for Beckman, from 1988 to 2000, in a number of
roles including Product Manager for Analytical Centrifugation and Product
Specialist for DNA sequencers. Between 2000 and 2010, Dr Keighley was
with Varian/Agilent as Product Specialist for the Cary series of UV-Vis and NIR/FTIR products.
The Shimadzu range of spectroscopy products includes
the versatile UV-1800, a high performance double-beam UV-Visible instrument
which offers best in class bandwidth and resolution with the option of either
self-control or computer control as required by the user. The instrument
has been enjoying dramatic success in the last few months with strong growth in
preceding years.
"Shimadzu products often keep surprising customers
with their reliability, quality and attention to detail," explained Dr Robert
Keighley. "Small touches seem to make a big difference to users.
For example, in Shimadzu's FTIR-Affinity solution the company uses optics
windows that do not fog over time. High throughput double-blazed gratings
in the UV-1800 system, or enhanced safety features, such as tremor sensing in
our AA-7000 instrument, all offer real benefits to the customer."
Dr Keighley continued: "Shimadzu has been
growing steadily in the UK
by gradually building up a loyal following of impressed users. With the
launch of some exceptional new products, such as the UV-1800 UV-Vis
spectrophotometer, the TOC-L series of combustion analyzers, the AA-7000 atomic
absorption spectrophotometer and the FTIR-Affinity FTIR spectrometer, the
company is now gearing up for rapid growth with the aim of capturing a larger
slice of the UK market."
