Service work
We recently had Joe carrying out the calibration of one of our MediaWells, and the service was excellent from start to finish.
Joe was professional, knowledgeable, and kept communication clear throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything he was doing and answered all questions I had thoroughly.
The work was completed efficiently and to a high standard, giving us confidence that the equipment is performing correctly. Don Whitley has an excellent customer service and technical support.
Great Service
Martin was very helpful and friendly as always. I appreciate him sharing his expertise.
Excellent service
Dan Lovell came to service our media preparators and plate stackers, and also various anaerobic cabinets. I find him very polite and competent, always approachable and knowledgeable. We had a problem after he had left, and he came back straight away after I phoned him. The company as a whole also always provide excellent service.
Adam good engineer !!

We recently had Dan service our mixed gas workstations and media maker, he was excellent from start to finish. Dan was professional, punctual, and very knowledgeable about the systems (we had an issue earlier in the week which he helped us to fix remotely). He identified a potential issue before it became a real problem, and made sure everything was running safely and efficiently before leaving.
Dan always has a friendly and approachable attitude and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dan to anyone needing reliable servicing. A top-quality service all around.
professional service provided by Duncan
great service used for a long time
Great work
During the annual calibration of our autoclaves, a Don Whitney staff (Martin P) discovered a fault with the autoclave set up in our lab that would not have been detected by our usual service providers.
It was a major potential hazard that had not been observed before and he dealt with it remarkably.
We are currently addressing the issue and hope to get it resolved quickly.
Many thanks for not only spotting this Health and safety concern but also helping to answer relevant questions with the hope that it get resolved to prevent injury in the future.
Rapid response to a reported issue with…
Rapid response to a reported issue with the anaerobic cabinet. Engineer Martyn attended on the following working day, resolved the door latch fault, and provided reassurance that the cabinet is functioning correctly.
13 years so far and only good things to say
We have worked with Don Whitley over the last 13 years, having them service our anaerobic incubator. They have always been constant professionals, highly communicative, and always quick to respond. They are real masters their craft. As a business they seem very well put together, efficient, and friendly.
Prompt response
We always receive prompt and professional responses to queries or fallout requests. Martyn is simply the best ❤️
After a break down
After a break down, a service date was quickly arranged with Steve Hughes, and a swift repair with further advice followed. Excellent service that got us up and running quickly!
