NORTH WEST BASED ENGINEERS STRENGTHEN R&D TEAM

Two new senior appointments at Bury based rail safety systems specialist, Rowe Hankins, have added strength and depth to the research and development team.  Steve Stone, a Chartered Engineer and member of the Institution of Electrical Engineers, joins as engineering project manager.  Tariq Latif has joined as senior engineer.  Both are engineering graduates from Salford University and were formerly with Alstom Transport in Preston.

"We have joined Rowe Hankins as the business has begun to grow and expand," explained Steve.  "At a time when rail safety is a major issue, the company has introduced a number of significant innovations including high accuracy speed sensors, roll back protection, speed display systems and AC/DC earth leakage detectors.  These systems are winning recognition from rail engineers worldwide."

"This is a great opportunity to see the development process from the supplier perspective and bring to bear my experience in quality systems including testing, validation and experience-based product improvement," commented Tariq.  

Rowe Hankins has recently won new business with Metrolink in Manchester for upgrade of critical components.  Worldwide, Rowe Hankins has supplied product to projects as far away as Shanghai, New York, Brazil and Australia.
