Dynamic Load Monitoring names new technical director
27 January 2023UK business Dynamic Load Monitoring (DLM) has promoted Chris Scrutton to technical director.
Moving from his role as technical manager, Scrutton will take an overall view of the engineering and operations functions of the company with a remit to improve efficiency, strategically identify and develop new products, and ensure the DLM range continues to offer both functionality and quality.
Martin Halford, managing director at DLM, said: “Chris has earned it, through the dedication and commitment he has provided to myself and DLM over the past ten years. He knows the company inside out, from starting as a calibration technician then progressing to engineering, to management, and now director, gaining engineering and project management qualifications along the way.
“With the expansion of the company, we needed to reorganise the structure to help us continue with our plans and prepare for the next stage of growth.”
Scrutton is also managing director of DLM’s sister company, Vulcan Offshore, a specialist in fabrication, welding and computer numerical control (CNC) machining for the marine and subsea industries. He will prioritise both growth at Vulcan and deliver the planned advancements at DLM.
Scrutton said: “I will bring additional technical knowledge and experience gained from working on engineering projects for cable and pipe laying vessels over the last ten years.
“Coupled with my experience running a business and managing teams, I will have a specific focus on staff and product development. The goal is to allow us to grow DLM more efficiently, while maintaining existing levels of customer service and support.”
DLM specialises in the design, manufacture, repair and calibration of load cells, load monitoring and cable working equipment.
