Lavender International NDT Consultancy Services Ltd is a leading provider of non-destructive testing (NDT) training, examinations and Level 3 consultancy services, and 2016 marks its 40th anniversary. The business started in 1976 at the home of Jack (1924-2003) and Joyce Lavender in Crosspool, Sheffield, with their son Dave Lavender being a major influence in the birth of the business. Jack himself became one of the first ASNT NDT Level 3s in 1977, a Member of the Institute of Physics, a Fellow of the Institute of Metallurgy and a Fellow of the British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing. In 1991, he became a Fellow of the American Society for NDT and later, in 1997, an Honorary Fellow of BINDT. Since this date, Lavender International has evolved into a BINDT-Approved Training Organisation and an Authorised Qualifying Body under BINDT's PCN operator certification scheme. The company is also a Quality Assured Provider for the National Skills Academy for Nuclear and more recently achieved Investors in People - Gold status. The company has expanded globally and has training centres in the UK (Penistone and the Advanced Manufacturing Park, Sheffield), USA (Houston, Texas) and Australia (Perth, Western Australia).
