Ashtead Appoints New NDT Sales Manager

Ashtead Technology has appointed Scott Stephen as its new non-destructive testing (NDT) sales manager.

Based at the company’s headquarters in Aberdeen, Scott will be responsible for business development and general sales and rental of NDT equipment and accessories, including phased array, ultrasonic flaw detection, corrosion mapping, eddy current flaw detection, hardness testing, composite inspection and thickness management.

Scott joins Ashtead from RSL NDT where he held the role of UK manager and was previously with Euro NDT as general manager, both based in Aberdeen.

Allan Pirie, chief executive of Ashtead Technology, said: “At the beginning of 2017 we mapped out growth plans for our NDT department and Scott is very much part of that strategy. We’re delighted to welcome him into the team and look forward to pushing forward with our plans, particularly having also recently secured further UKAS accreditation.”

Having previously gained UKAS accreditation for the calibration of survey, positioning and oceanographic sensors, this most recent approval also covers the delivery of calibration services for ultrasonic testing equipment used by NDT inspection companies.
