We’re thrilled to share some fantastic news from the Aitken Labs team – a double milestone that showcases both individual achievement and our company-wide commitment to excellence.
Congratulations to Sam Leonard – now a qualified Lead Driller!
Last Wednesday marked a proud moment as Sam Leonard officially passed his Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Land Drilling. This qualification recognises Sam’s skills, hard work, and dedication in the field and confirms his status as a fully qualified Lead Driller. Sam has consistently demonstrated a strong work ethic and technical ability, and this achievement is a testament to his growth and professionalism. Well done, Sam – a brilliant step forward in your drilling career!
Lab accreditation extended following UKAS visit
We’re also pleased to announce that following our recent UKAS assessment, Aitken Laboratories’ lab accreditation has been successfully extended for another year. This is a significant endorsement of the rigorous standards we uphold in our geotechnical testing services. It reflects our continued commitment to delivering precise, high-quality results for our clients across the infrastructure, environmental, and construction sectors.
These achievements reflect the strength of our team and the quality of work we strive for every day. A huge well done to everyone involved – here’s to continued success and more milestones ahead!
