Stats, an independent consultancy practice, announces the arrival of David Crofts to head the analytical team at the company's St Albans facility.
David Crofts graduated from Imperial College London with a first-class honours degree in chemistry, before completing his PhD, also at Imperial College, in polymer and organometallic chemistry.
Looking forward to his new role, Crofts said: "I would like to expand the range of specialist testing and consultancy services that we are able to offer in order to meet the changing demands of construction materials.
"My experience in polymer chemistry both in academia in the UK and in industry in the USA will enable us to develop our ability to offer expertise in fields such as admixtures, adhesives, paints and other polymers used in construction."
