Passion, talent and knowledge has propelled ATEX Particle Counting Company (APCC) Technical Director Wayne Hubball to a position where he is now regarded as one of the industry’s leading authorities on particle counting and fluid cleanliness.
With over 30 years’ experience of contamination control, he enjoys an unrivalled reputation in the field. His expert knowledge of the characterization and measurement of particulate contamination of parts, components, sub-assemblies and assemblies comprising the fluid circuits of engines or transmission, has benefitted hundreds of customers.

Peter also has extensive experience with the design and build of hydraulic actuators, power tools, cold steel cutting devices, robotic arms and attachments for ultra-deep sea remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to work in a wide range of conditions and power sources.
He is also highly experienced with Geomagic – the professional engineering software brand of 3D Systems.The company’s products focus on computer aided design with the emphasis on 3D scanning.
Completing the headquarters line-up is Managing Director, Dr Kirsty Hunter, who is responsible for overseeing quality and analytical services.
