Hamilton’s MSP recently visited a thriving and rapidly expanding tech firm based in the town.
Probe Test Solutions Ltd (PTSL), which is run by CEO Jordan Mackellar and COO David Law, is a world-leader in delivering advanced ATE test hardware solutions to customers globally.
Christina McKelvie MSP, for Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse, paid a visit to the technology firm’s base at Hillhouse Industrial Estate, where they have offices and a factory workshop that they use to deliver their global services.
The company’s Board consists of global industry leaders, such as their Chairman Dr Jalal Bagherli, and Scottish business leader Jacky McNulty.
Recently, PTSL have acquired a Texas-based tech firm called ThinkMEMS as they continue their rapid expansion. PTSL has a clear ethos, which was described to the MSP as growing and securing long-term prosperity in Scotland, placing clear emphasis on keeping as many high-paying jobs in the locality as possible.
PTSL has also received $30 million of private equity investment which will help them expand.
Ms McKelvie visited them to discuss their plans for growth in the constituency, whilst offering her support in any which way she can.
Commenting on the visit, Christina said: “I always love meeting Jordan and his team at PTSL. They are a prime example of how forward-thinking, inclusive businesses should – and can – operate. Their success is, no doubt, down to their intellect, their entrepreneurship, and they are so clearly fuelled by their cultural ethos.
“PTSL is unashamedly influenced by Scotland. You can see that through their desire to link up with educational partners to create streamlined, long-term employment opportunities for young people in the locality.
“Plus, their dedication to working with local charities and supporting them financially and through their time makes a real difference to our communities. I was pleased to act as a bridge between PTSL and some other local charities that they will hopefully begin working with too.
“I look forward to supporting them going forward as they continue to grow and expand.”
