My Story

Ruth founded Full Matrix with the ambition of combining her extensive experience in numerical simulation and non-destructive testing to provide industry with innovative solutions to complex engineering challenges. Now, leading the growing Full Matrix team, she aims to continue to drive the company’s success, making Full Matrix world leaders in digitally enhanced inspection and condition monitoring solutions to ensure the safety and reliability of critical infrastructure.

Out of office

After an operation as a child, the first thing Ruth did as soon as she could get out of bed, was to go straight to the day room and ask to do some maths. When out of the office, Ruth enjoys attempting to grow dinner at her allotment.
