Guildford: MR Solutions appoints financial director to help manage expansion

MR Solutions has appointed Ben Withinshaw as financial director to help manage the company’s ongoing expansion. The company, based in Guildford, has grown to become the world’s largest independent developer and manufacturer of preclinical MRI technology with its revolutionary development of cryogen free bench top MRI scanners.

It was a strategic decision to bring in Withinshaw to manage the company’s finances, as the company is expanding further with a move into other preclinical imaging modalities including PET, SPECT, optical and CT. Prior to this appointment, he was financial controller for Green Star Media, a digital publishing company and prior to that SPC International, an IT hardware company.

MR Solutions’ chief executive, Dr David Taylor, said: “Ben will be a great asset to the management team as he will be able to take charge of the financial side of the business while we continue to develop the business both in terms of increasing our sales and developing new technologies.”

MR Solutions has over 30 years’ experience in the scanning field and in excess of 1,000 installations across the world, including its MRI spectrometer sales.
