AN ULVERSTON company welcomed a royal visitor yesterday (June 22).
The Duke of Kent paid a visit to Tritech International during his day trip to Cumbria.
He received a presentation on Tritech’s developments, including the new imaging sonar and the latest product applications such as a marine detection system, which has been successful in recent trials to prevent shark attacks on Bondi Beach, Australia.
David Bradley, managing director, Tritech, said: "We were delighted to welcome The Duke of Kent during his visit to Cumbria to view our state-of-the-art facility which was specifically designed to conduct product development, production and testing of our high-technology subsea products.
"We thank The Duke for his time and recognition of our company in the local Cumbrian area."
Tritech designs and manufactures high-technology sonars for underwater applications which enable underwater vehicles to perform tasks such as obstacle avoidance and target detection in industries such as oil, gas and defence.
