ION Science appoints four directors for strategic evolution and developing success


ION Science, a leading manufacturer of gas detection equipment and OEM PID (photoionisation detection) gas sensors, have appointed four directors to headline its new board and deliver ION Science’s ambitious plans for further growth. The board will be instrumental in forging and delivering a long-term strategic growth plan and to deliver repeated profi table results.


Duncan Johns has led the company for more than 23 years, but ION Science’s high business performance meant additional capacity was required to ensure the appropriate support was available to deliver pioneering plans for further growth. As such, it was imperative to get the right people on the board to lead the ongoing development and change.


Steve Newcomb joined early last year as an experienced operations director. As a professional engineering business leader, Steve has more than 30 years’ experience within technical manufacturing and engineering sectors, both within multinational corporate and private SME businesses. Steve’s experience is invaluable in operations, supply chain, engineering, and manufacturing. However, Steve has also demonstrated his experience as a senior board member and has been promoted to Deputy Managing Director, supporting all aspects of the business when Duncan is involved elsewhere.


Jason Evans, who joined late last year as Commercial Director, brings a strong background in high performance technologies from both privately owned SMEs and publicly listed global businesses. His previous work has covered markets that include MedTech, consumer electronics, digital imaging, and a variety


of high energy RF industries. His solid understanding of global markets will help provide further focus on delivering growth and driving shareholder value.


Garfay Liu has been with the company for three years. Whilst heading up the R&D function for the last three years, he has now been promoted to R&D Director. Garfay has more than 15 years’ experience in managing technology product developments for commercial, medical, and industrial applications. His leadership style has helped grow high performing technical teams applied to product development, and he will be instrumental in technology research, applications, and new product development.


Nicki Howard joined the company last year as head of Finance and was promoted to Finance Director in April this year. Nicki brings 17 years of fi nance experience, knowledge of effective fi nancial controls and processes, and a desire to work inclusively across the business. Nicki trained professionally in PwC’s audit practice, where she worked on a variety of SMEs and large listed clients in various industries. More recently, she worked as a Group Financial Controller at a large, global manufacturing company, which provided transferable experience and skills applicable to ION Science.


Managing Director Duncan Johns commented on the appointments: “We have made good progress on developing our product roadmap, and this has led to considerable additional recruitment and changes to the structure of teams, which has itself created further roles. It is exciting bringing in great new talent, as


well as internally promoting others, to create this strong strategic board to support ION Science through the next stage of its journey”.


The new strategic board appointments are a fi tting development for ION Science. In addition to the new hires, a new research and development building was commissioned late in 2021 and is due for completion in early 2023. The building will support dedicated research and development activity, further strengthening ION Science’s position as an OEM leader for PID technology and gas detection.

Showcasing the latest in air quality and PID sensor technology: ION Science are exhibiting at AQE 2022


ION Science, a world-leading OEM in the development, manufacture, and supply of PID sensors, will once again be exhibiting the latest in air quality monitoring at AQE 2022, on stand L0L0. The Air Quality and Emissions Event will take place in Telford, UK, on the 12th and 13th October 2022.


ION Science’s range of MiniPID sensors are widely recognised as the best available PID sensors, thanks to their industry leading sensitivity, reliability, and accuracy in VOC detection. By improving the technology available, it’s possible to better monitor emissions that negatively impact health and the environment.


Exhibiting at AQE 2022 on stand L0L0, ION Science will be demonstrating their full range of PID sensors and components, including the three sensors from the range that are most suitable for air quality monitoring:


MiniPID 2 PPB Sensor is optimised to low-end ppb sensitivity while offering a wide dynamic range and is perfect for measuring indoor and outdoor air quality over a wide range of environments.


MiniPID 2 HS Sensor is the most sensitive VOC sensor on the market designed for high sensitivity applications, allowing sub ppb measurement.


MiniPID 2 10.0 eV sensor is a good choice for spaces that require selective measurement of highly toxic VOCs such as benzene,


toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene.


ION Science’s PID technology is ideal for air quality and emissions monitoring purposes, thanks to the advanced developments made by the R&D team at ION Science. The patented fence electrode technology found in all ION Science MiniPID sensors helps to eliminate false positives. The fence electrode guards the sensing electrodes against short circuits, and false negatives are also minimised through a combination of advanced electrode geometry and moisture fi ltering.


ION also employ an application specifi c integrated circuit (ASIC) that monitors the sensors performance and feeds back to provide market leading temperature stability. The ASIC performs key diagnostic duties that fl ag when the lamp is out, or if the ionisation chamber is compromised. Without these, the user has no way to know if of the sensor has been compromised and potentially leaves the user at risk to dangerous exposures. ION Science’s sensors are the only fail safe PIDs in the world.


At the heart of the PID is the ionising source, the lamp, contributes to lifetime, sensitivity, and photon energy of the sensor. As the lamp is such a critical component, ION Science manufacture this essential part in house. For over 20 years, ION Science has invested signifi cantly in cutting edge technology


to continuously improve processes, and now manufactures the highest quality lamps on the market.

Using MiniPID sensors and gas sensing technology in combination has demonstrated that it is an effective way to monitor air quality and emissions for the safeguarding of human and environmental health. ION Science is committed to protecting lives and preserving the environment by offering pioneering gas sensing technology for monitoring and improving air quality.


To see ION Science’s full range of MiniPID sensors and understand more about how to deploy PID technology, to help improve air quality and health, or to hear directly from the experts, visit the ION Science stand L0L0 at AQE 2022, 12th – 13th October 2022.
