60 seconds with Nimans' Gary Redshaw

How do you spend most of your time at work?

I manage stock levels, give advice and drive awareness of radio communications to staff and customers.

What’s the one gadget – other than two way radio – that you can’t live without?

My iPad, although I’m not a big fan of using gadgets.

Describe your most unforgettable project during your time working in the industry.

A local leisure centre where we introduced two-way radios. They helped to save the life of someone who had a heart attack, and help was immediately called.

What’s the most unusual thing you’ve seen while in the wireless comms sector?

We had some new radios delivered and our founder Julian asked to have a look. When I went back to collect them, all that was left was a chassis and a spring where the antenna was, as he’d stripped them down to assess them.

What advice would you give to a young radio engineer who’s starting their first job in the industry?
