In the latest edition of In the Spotlight, David Brazier, Managing Director for the UK and Ireland at OMICRON Electronics, sits down with Electrical Review to celebrate 25 years of the company’s dedication to supporting engineers.
David shares his remarkable journey from starting as a transformer test technician to leading OMICRON through significant growth and innovation. He discusses how the company has evolved over the years, expanding from a team of three to sixteen and establishing a renowned training academy in Stafford. This academy offers hands-on training covering everything from transformers and cables to cyber security, providing engineers with the practical experience they need in a rapidly changing industry.
The interview highlights OMICRON’s commitment to its core values, focusing on empowering engineers through education, cutting-edge technology, and exceptional customer support. David emphasises the importance of building trust with customers and how the company’s structure — as a trust-owned entity that donates profits to charity — reflects its mission to make a positive impact beyond just business.
Looking ahead, David reveals exciting plans for OMICRON, including expanding its facilities to introduce a calibration and repair hub. This development aims to minimize downtime for customers by providing faster, local services and reinforces the company’s commitment to supporting the engineering community.
