SepSolve Analytical and Markes International appoint Gareth Davies as Chief Financial Officer

SepSolve Analytical and Markes International (companies of Schauenburg Analytics Ltd) are pleased to announce the appointment of Gareth Davies as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), strengthening the leadership team as both companies continue their international growth.

Gareth joins from Lightico, a provider of digital tools for the financial services and telecoms sectors. He brings a strong track record in financial leadership, having previously served as CFO at Vortex IoT and Tellermate, where he progressed to Group Managing Director.

“Gareth brings a wealth of experience and financial insight to the group,” said Nigel Fry, CEO for SepSolve and Markes. “His appointment comes at an exciting time for both businesses and will play a key role in driving our strategic and operational plans as we continue to scale.”

SepSolve and Markes work in close collaboration, supporting laboratories worldwide with technologies for gas chromatography (GC) and GC–mass spectrometry (GC–MS).

SepSolve specialises in high-performance GC and GCxGC instrumentation, time-of-flight mass spectrometry and powerful software tools for advanced data analysis.

Markes complements this by providing leading thermal desorption and automated sample extraction and concentration platforms that greatly improve the analysis of trace-level compounds.

Together, their technologies create a fully integrated workflow – from sample introduction to data insight – helping scientists meet complex analytical challenges across a wide range of sectors, including environmental, materials, food, fragrance and more.

Their collaboration is supported by shared global infrastructure for manufacturing, service and technical support. With offices and laboratories in the UK, Germany, China and the USA, both companies are recognised for their technical innovation, product performance and customer support.

Commenting on his appointment, Davies said: “I’m delighted to be joining SepSolve and Markes at such a dynamic stage. Both companies are widely respected in their fields, with strong ambitions and the capabilities to deliver. I look forward to working with the teams to help realise the group’s strategic goals and future plans.”
