Validair appoints new system sales specialist

Matt Plocki re-joins the team at Validair Monitoring Solutions (VMSL), bringing huge experience to the company’s customers from previous roles in particle monitoring engineering development and hospital pharmaceutical manufacturing – as well as a former technical role at VMSL.

VMSL supplies environmental monitoring (EM) and contamination control solutions from TSI and ViGIE to customers across the UK and Ireland. While Matt Plocki is based at VMSL’s headquarters in Malvern, Worcestershire, and he will support the firm’s customers in all territories with his specialist facility monitoring and particle counter instrumentation knowledge.

Plocki began his journey in the contamination control sector with TSI, where he served as a service technician, dealing with various test and measurement instruments and associated calibration systems, and subsequently joined Validair as a Technical Support and Development Engineer. After a five-year tenure at VMSL, he moved into a specialist engineering post in pharmaceutical production with Guy’s Hospital, London.

“Now that Matt has returned to Validair from a key role in pharma manufacturing with invaluable first-hand experience of facility monitoring systems, he will be a great asset to our team. His expertise will see him advise and support Validair customers who are considering, implementing or using our FMS solutions. We are delighted to welcome him back,” says Deborah Haisman, Commercial Director at Validair.

From his time with TSI and more recently in pharmaceutical production at Guy’s Hospital, Plocki also brings applications experience of the TSI BioTrak Real-Time Viable Particle Counter – a microbial EM system that is unique in the global market and that has come into its own with the recent publication of the EU GMP Annex 1 update, which mandates continuous monitoring and the creation of Contamination Control Systems (CCS) to which the BioTrak is ideally suited.

VMSL provides expertise in the supply and installation of bespoke continuous monitoring and critical alarm systems for life science cleanrooms, healthcare facilities, laboratories and any critical controlled area or equipment. The company is headquartered in Malvern, Worcestershire, with associated test & certification business operations delivered by its sister company, Validair (Euro) (t/a Validair Diamond Scientific) in Chester-le-Street, County Durham. Validair is a Gold Standard channel partner for TSI, the world’s leading manufacturer of particle counters and environmental monitoring software. Discover more at www.validair.com.
