About

Hello, My name is Tom, and I am a Director at Rowse. I have been with Rowse for over seventeen years, previously working as an electrical design engineer in Plymouth Dockyard. Since 2008, I have overseen industrial and control offerings, providing technical support. Initially, my expertise was more electrical, with little experience in pneumatics. However, through training and support, I developed a passion for pneumatics, especially circuit design and product selection. The shift towards electrically biased products like electric cylinders and actuators has made my automation knowledge invaluable. I am also a certified machinery safety expert, conducting risk assessments, CE marking, and product selection. I write content for Rowse on topics of interest and frequently asked questions. With a keen interest in automation and control products, I hope you find my content informative. I welcome any topic suggestions.
