Hydrock was attracted by the entrepreneurial spirit of SPLtrack, who identify as an ideas factory, challenging convention. Their ethos closely matches the culture and mindset fostered by Hydrock which acts as the backbone of us being a force for good.

Ric Hampton, regional director and director of acoustics and air quality at Hydrock, said:

“This is a fantastic addition to the acoustics and air quality division. We’re over the moon to have the opportunity to add such specialist expertise to our already high-performing team. With clients such as Silverstone and MSV circuits, we’re able to accelerate our capabilities in real-time environmental monitoring and play an important role in addressing the public health crisis and meeting new WHO guidance.”

The SPLtrack team are excited to work with new colleagues to unlock the strength of our technologies, the ADAhub platform, and to bring new opportunities to the group. Personally, I am delighted to be working alongside engineers that I have known for many years within a company I greatly respect.”
