Air Velocity Takes Off In Style
Pennine instruments are proud to announce that our Air Velocity Laboratory achieved the highly esteemed UKAS accreditation in December 2011, after an in depth assessment by the UKAS assessors. We are very pleased to be able to calibrate your vane, pitot and hot wire anemometers to either UKAS and traceable calibration standards of from 0.5 to 30 m/s. This prestigious addition to Pennine’s UKAS accreditation enables us to undertake an even wider calibration portfolio to meet your needs for either traceable, or UKAS certification.
The company now holds UKAS accreditation for 4 laboratories being: LF electrical, dimensional, acoustic and air velocity calibration and is looking forwards to the remainder of 2012, where we will drive to further extend our UKAS accreditation into more areas of our calibration activities.

Pennine Gets on its Bike.
Pennine greatly respects the environment and to support our policy we have decided to get on our bikes.
Robert Middleton, the company Operations Manager is one of 4 Pennine employees to join the Pennine’s government ‘cycle to work’ scheme. The ownership of bikes has reinforced the environmental challenges ahead which we all face and has started a renewed enthusiasm in the company to get together and cycle out of works time, in the nearby countryside, on a regular basis.
MacRide
Middleton wanted to get even more value from his bike and help others in doing so and so he took part in a sponsored 67 mile MacRide cycle challenge in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support on Sunday 12th September. It look Robert a very respectable 6 hours to complete the course and Rob had a fantastic day and would highly recommend others to have a go! So far Robert has raised approximately £100 for this very worthy cause.
If you would like to help Robert reach his challenging sponsorship target of £250 then please click here and pledge your donation.

Important Visitors to Pennine
September 2011 was an extremely busy time for the Pennine quality department when they hosted the 3 person UKAS assessment team, who undertook a very successful and informative UKAS laboratory surveillance visit over a 2 day period. This latest visit notches up a huge total of 19 annual visits which UKAS have performed at Pennine premises over the past years. Also during September Pennine played host to the LRQA, whose assessor carried out a reassessment of Pennine against ISO 9001 2008. Once again this proved to be a very positive visit with Pennine realising a clean “bill of health”.
