Both Dave and John bring a wealth of specialist knowledge in dust and fume extraction, bolstering Filtermist’s commitment to protecting workers from the harmful effects of airborne dust exposure.
Dave Clarkson, now technical sales support lead, originally worked at Dustcheck from 2013 to 2015, while John Osman, now serving as technical applications engineer, was part of Dustcheck from 2015 to 2019.
Both played vital roles in the company prior to its acquisition by Filtermist in 2017. With years of hands-on industry experience, they are both well-respected among colleagues and customers alike.
Jo Morris, Filtermist’s commercial director, welcomed Dave and John’s return, commenting: "Filtermist has grown its presence in the dust control sector significantly since entering the market with the acquisition of MultiFan Systems in 2016, followed by Dustcheck in 2017, Dust Control Solutions in 2018, and the DCS Group in 2019.”
She continued: “Over the past few years, our dust division has grown to almost match the revenue generated by our oil mist extraction business - which has been a UK market leader for over 50 years. Dave and John’s return is testament to their confidence in our business and its future."
Dave Clarkson began his career in dust extraction in 1980, while John Osman, after completing an HNC in Production Engineering in 1982, has held various technical sales and project roles. Their combined expertise will greatly enhance Filtermist’s ability to provide tailored dust control and air filtration solutions for a wide range of industries.
"We are thrilled to offer our customers the exceptional knowledge and technical skills that Dave and John bring to the table. Their return is a huge asset to our dust division, and we look forward to continuing our growth in this important sector. With them back on the team, we can continue our mission to make workplaces healthier, happier and more productive,” added Morris.
