Martin Gadsby
Owner and Director, Optimal Industrial Automation
Martin graduated from the University of Bath in the late 1970’s, and after working through a few positions in industry, he became the European R&D Process and Process Automation Group Leader for Kraft Foods. After a few years at Kraft, Martin decided to set up a process automation business with a colleague, Dave Richards, and Optimal was born. Optimal Industrial Automation was formed over 33 years ago, with Martin now being the Vice President of Optimal Industrial Technologies which was formed more recently as the products division and is the market leader in the field of Process Analytical Technology (PAT) with its PAT Knowledge Management product – synTQ. Martin is intimately involved with progressing the evolution of synTQ and advising the Optimal development team on what he believes to be the optimum development direction. Over the last few years, he has taken on the overall responsibility not only for the company but also for the sales and marketing of synTQ whilst remaining very active in ensuring that the development of synTQ continues unabated. On the personal front, Martin is a bit of a ‘petrol head’ and enjoys flying aerobatics and racing cars.
