History
In March 2007 we joined forces with Lotek Wireless Inc.
We have over 25 years experience of radio-tracking and radio
tag manufacture. Biotrack arose from practical biological research at Oxford
University in the late 1970s and became a business in 1980, following a move by
the founder team to Cambridge. The origin and development of Biotrack is rooted
in wildlife and conservation research, and Biotrack Ltd. (as it became in 1994)
is still run by dedicated biologists who are actively involved in fieldwork.
Practical radio-tracking is inseparable from the development and manufacture of high
quality radio tags. Research and development are continuous, as shown by the
high reliability and increased performance of ever smaller tags during the last
few years. Biotrack has grown steadily from the start, attracting new customers
through the personal recommendations of researchers who were already customers.
In 1995 we were proud to move into attractive buildings on a rural site, which
will allow for our continued expansion and on-going technological achievements.

 | People
Biotrack presently has 20 members of staff.
Of these, 15 people are involved in manufacturing and testing tags, and R &
D, and work mostly behind the scenes. The other 5 people are likely to write
to, talk with or meet you at one time or another, and we have listed them here
so that you know who they are and what they do. If you have a particular
enquiry, you may wish to address it to the most appropriate person. For
example, enquiries about radio tags, tag attachments and radio-tracking are normally answered
by Sean Walls or Brian Cresswell. However, we all work together as a team, and
areas of responsibility often overlap, so please contact whoever you
wish.
