John Gill - Technical director

At ACM we make powerful easy to use conventional instruments.  You are now about to discover our best kept secret: revolutionary state-of-the art custom-built instruments.

I am the technical director and this is my page.  Let me introduce myself.

John S. Gill  B.Sc. in Physics   M.Sc. in Corrosion and Ph.D. in Electrochemistry.   I Started making one-off corrosion monitoring equipment with Ray Gill in 1986 at an average of 8 unique instruments a year - that's equivalent to 120 guaranteed one off projects for our customers to date.  This is in addition to our fantastic standard range displayed on the main page.
