About Us

Founder/Engineer – Dr. Marc Ingram

Marc has over 10 years experience working in Tribology.  He has a masters degree in Chemistry and a PhD in Engineering (Tribology), so can easily bridge the gap that so often exists between lubricant formulator and field/test engineer.  He has worked with all major oil and additive companies after a successful career at Imperial College, PCS Instruments and Afton Chemical.  Marc has extensive knowledge of all tribology test methods including both standardised and non-standardised lubricant tests. He has designed, modified and improved countless methods, to ultimately aid in the development of new lubricant products.

Mr. Peter Denyer IEng MIET

Peter is a qualified mechanical engineer with over 40 years’ experience in the UK electricity supply industry (transmission). He has an extensive and in-depth knowledge of commissioning, maintaining assets, setting maintenance policies (maintenance frequencies, maintenance content, lifetime management, life extension) and developing new and innovative strategies.  His work has mainly been in the UK but he has been involved with coordinating and comparing strategies with associates in the USA.

During his later years, he proposed and supervised a tribology project in association with Imperial College, London to identify the most suitable lubricants to ensure reliability of equipment in all conditions, ensuring degradation mechanism were identified, thereby enabling reduced maintenance combined with a lower failure rate, increased availability, lower breakdowns and life extension of assets. He co-presented this technical presentation to the National Lubrication Grease Institute in the USA (2012). He is of the firm belief that correct lubrication is the key to successful asset management.
