About Us
Who Are We?
The Team
Ian Mein
Ian founded Citritek in 2016 (but back then it was called Southsea STS). Ian knows lots of stuff about microbiology and laboratories, and has been a senior leader in a fair few organisations. Each one has a story that is held in the increasingly numerous grey hairs of his beard.
Sam Liddell
Sam joined Southsea STS in 2018 and soon convinced Ian that Citritek was a better name for what they do. Sam knows lots of stuff about technology and operations (previously working for Apple before leading company acquisition integrations for Suez). He's also far too tall for Ian's liking.
Richard Lawson
Richard joined Citritek in 2020. Though now living in the Netherlands, Richard is still our main fount of knowledge for all the really complicated science stuff our technical projects throw up. He also has excellent pink headphones that the company just couldn’t survive without.
Tom Wharton
Tom joined Citritek in 2021, primarily to bring another hair colour to the team. Tom knows everything there is to know about industrial and domestic water systems including the legislative requirements and practical control measures that will suit our customers. He is also an all-round good guy.
