Meet The Team
Founder & Managing Director
Alex Graft
Alex formed the company in early 2017 after having worked for a variety of instrumentation suppliers and a Noise and Vibration consultancy. With his many years of experience he decided to launch Safety Monitors to bring back some of what he saw missing in the market; a focus on specialist instrumentation knowledge and the capabilities to provide information quickly online and 24 hours a day on the phone.
Alex is a dedicated family man and loves guitar and technology. His only wish is the kids would give him some more time to enjoy his other interests.
