Neville McElwaine
Owner

After graduating with a degree in Business and Finance, Neville joined the company founded by his father. Neville led the company’s expansion of its integrity testing service offering to the liquid food and beverage sector in UK, adding locations in Glasgow, Kendal and Swindon.
