Craig, a qualified Mechanical Engineer, joined Elcometer 17 years ago as Sales Manager for UK and Europe. 2009 saw the addition of India and Africa as regions within Craig’s area of responsibility.

The FREE ElcoMaster software package can be downloaded from either Google Play or Apple App Store and provides you with the ability to store readings from any Bluetooth enabled gauge from Elcometer together with:
– inspection photographs
– GPS coordinates of where each measurement was taken
– inspection notes
– gauge serial numbers
– calibration information, and much, much more.

Elcometer have recently launched a series of videos to demonstrate the functionality and ease of use of the ElcoMaster software for desktops as well as the ElcoMaster Mobile for tablets and smart phones.
