Our History
Est 2006
The company was established in 2006 with the goal of advancing the performance and capabilities of GPS and ancillary low power technology in a wide range of new and emerging consumer applications. Initial product developments targeted at a range of diverse markets involved highly innovative advances in ultra low power GPS technology, to produce ever more power-efficient solutions. A range of highly advanced products were subsequently developed and successfully produced for the marine mammal and large seabird tracking markets.

The PathTrack Team
The directors are supported by a dedicated and experienced team. Many of our existing customers will be familiar with Alan and Jennie in our sales and support roles.
Alan comes from a highly customer focused role, previously working as a project manager for a worldwide engineering group, supplying capital equipment into pharmaceutical facilities around the world. He joined Pathtrack in the summer of 2020 and is enjoying the challenge of learning all about telemetry and the new technologies that bring this data to life.
Jennie joined Pathtrack in the summer of 2021, and is our Customer Support and Quality Manager. Jennie is our customers’ primary contact for technical support, using her significant experience working in global manufacturing and logistics. Jennie offers guidance and assistance with tag testing, set-up and configuration advice, data analysis, and advice on the best way to maintain the tags for future deployments. Jennie is also responsible for Quality across the business. This means ensuring the highest quality of our products and services to the customers, as well as the quality of our internal processes and procedures. Jennie has a passion for continuous improvement, and it is her highest priority that we offer our customers unparalleled levels of product quality, innovation, service and support.
Overseeing the entire production operation is Tom our Production Manager. Tom leads the production team, ensuring all customer orders are built and tested to the exact specification agreed and delivered within the timeline. He works closely with the engineering team and our key suppliers, to ensure that each and every individual component is of the same consistent quality and performance in order that our tags deliver the same high levels of GPS location data year on year.
