The latest Q5 interview is now online - with the managing director of Livingston, the equiment rental specialists.
Masten Evans talks to Electronics Weekly about British engineering culture, companies managing their assets, and the greatest test activity he sees over the coming 12 months...
The five questions are:
1. What do you feel are the main challenges that test engineers currently have to face, and how does Livingston look to help them?
2. Has the recent economic downturn had any effect on how companies deal with test equipment sourcing? Do you think that rental is being perceived in a more favourable light now?
