We are planning a rapid expansion and growth program and we believe we have the potential to triple sales over the next three to four years.” He continued, “Trolex is already a global brand and this is reflected in the new brand image which we have already introduced this year across all areas of the company.

As one of the founders, John Pierce-Jones has taken Trolex forward to become a global leader in its field with sales of over £10 annually. The company offers a full range of gas detection and environmental monitoring systems and equipment. This includes gas detection, temperature, flow, pressure, vibration and level sensors from basic monitoring through to complex systems with SCADA interface.
