In 1983, pre-internet and in a year that saw early public access to mobile phones and the first incarnation of Microsoft Word, Dr Graham Rideal set about applying his scientific experience and expertise to the development of glass microsphere standards, the hallmark of which is absolute reliability and traceability.
Now, 30 years on, Whitehouse Scientific is a thriving global business with a product range that encompasses the best in calibration standards. A far cry from the early days, Whitehouse Scientific now has an up-to-date website that allows customers the convenience of paying by credit card or through PayPal, or even using a smartphone. Furthermore, the company’s latest YouTube video, on sieve calibration, is breaking previous Whitehouse Scientific records with over 1000 views to date.
Today, Dr Rideal, pictured centre with team leader Lauren Prince and managing director Jamie Storey, is CEO of Whitehouse Scientific, which operates from commercial and laboratory facilities in Chester, where it was founded and continues to grow. Privately owned and family run, the company remains true to its principles of quality products and excellence in customer service. The team prides itself on being truly flexible and responsive to the changing needs of the market and of individual customers.
