Our Staff

At Metals Technology we understand that our staff are our most important asset. 

Our staff are all hand picked for their wide-ranging experience. Some are outlined below:

Mr. Gary Tinker (Director)

Gary graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Metallurgy from Sheffield University. Initially Gary worked as a chemist at Hoyle Street laboratories, before transferring to the Swinden Technology Centre in Rotherham as a metallurgist in the Production Metallurgy Department.  Key research to which Gary contributed included 'development of sampling methods for analysis of Hydrogen in steels’. He also worked for 6 years as a foundry metallurgist in both iron and steel foundries.  In 1983, Gary established The Metals Technology Company to give technical advice to small manufacturers.  Since then, Gary has steered Metals Technology through to its current strength.

Mr. Ron White (Technical/Quality Director)

Ron holds an HNC in Metallurgy, which is supplemented by his vast and varied experience of a diverse range of materials from Tools steels through to Ferro alloys, Nickel base alloys, engineering steels and stainless steels.  Prior to joining Metals Technology, Ron was Group Quality Manager for the Neepsend Group, which included approx. 30 companies carrying prestige accreditations such as MOD, Rolls Royce, CAA etc.  The group included three foundries and this led to Ron being heavily involved in the development projects such as; materials for use in the Rolls Royce RB211 jet engine and the first ever ESR melting of Tool steels.  He joined Metals Technology as Quality Director/Metallurgist, taking responsibility for the UKAS Quality system and is putting his experience to good use by handling a combination of metallurgical and chemical analysis work.

Mr. Mark Collier (Laboratory Manager)

Mark joined Metals Technology in 1987 straight from school.  He initially completed a four year long Apprenticeship where he trained in every aspect of the Metals Technology testing facility.  His broad experience made him the obvious choice as laboratory manager.  His duties include the day-to-day running of the testing facilities and the appointment and training of new staff. 
Other Senior Staff:
Mr. Mel Brammer (Senior Chemist)
Mr. Colin Barnfield (Senior Technician)
Mr. Clifton Wray (Machine Shop Manager)
Mr. Bryan Cox (Senior Workshop Technician)
Miss. Sarah Kendall (Office Manager)
This is just a brief outline of the technical experience available within Metals Technology and doesn’t include the various support staff without whom the company would not function in the efficient manner to which it strives.
