Feedback from our colleagues and clients:

“Diane has always provided great support for my company and clients. She has a breadth and depth of knowledge and experience that is difficult to find and is also a great communicator. The training she provides through her company Anthias Consulting is practical, effective and good value. Also, when I get stuck on a particularly tricky GC or GC-MS problem she is one of a small number of people I can rely on to help me get to the bottom of it. I have no hesitation in recommending her if your business needs some top quality training in GC and GC-MS in both theory and practice. “

Director, CD R&D Consultancy Services

Mark Powell - Director, Mark Powell Scientific Limited

“Diane has hoasted a GCXGC seminar organised by ZOEX Europe and has done a great job on this in regards of sharing her wide range of knowledge on GCXGC and TOFMS with the GCXGC trainees. We still actively work with Diane on several projects in regards of demo’s and application work.”

Our work in British Isles

We work with a large range of customers in our home country, the UK, approximately half of whom attend our scheduled courses whereas the other half prefer onsite training and consultancy.

On average, we give onsite training and consultancy to our customers in Ireland on a monthly basis, as it is only a short hop from our local airport, Stansted. Delegates from Ireland also attend our scheduled courses on a regular basis.

Feedback from our clients and customers from UK and Ireland:

“Diane’s knowledge around the whole area of gas chromatography is immense. Her enthusium for the subject area is infectious and her ability to explain different aspects of hardware and software is excellent. We have used Anthias Consulting from basic to advanced GC training and have been very impressed. I would gladly recommend her.”

Kieran Kilcawley - Principal Research Officer, Teagasc

“We have collaborated with Diane on a number of projects both in our own instrument developments and for ongoing customer education. Diane has a wealth of knowledge on a broad range of GC-MS applications and her ability to deliver this knowledge to people of varying abilities if extremely valuable.”

Our work in Europe

We have always had a close working relationship with companies and our partners in Europe, with delegates attending our scheduled courses in the UK as well as receiving onsite support through our training and consultancy services. We have been providing GC training in Slovenia for many years and are booked to provide a Basic LC course and an LC method development course in Ljubljana in October 2017 on behalf of our client Chemass.

Feedback from our clients and customers from European Union:

“In the last two years, my company CHEMASS d.o.o., which is an authorized Agilent Technologies distributor in Slovenia, has organized a few training courses for customers with the aim to improve their knowledge about different analytical techniques (GC, GC-MSD, HPLC) and capabilities that are offered by different software packages. Two of such courses were organized in co-operation with Anthias Consulting. In both cases the lecturer was Diane Turner who ran a two day ‘Basic GC and GC-MS Training Course’ and a three day ‘Advanced GC and GC-MS Training Course’. Each class had about ten participants. Their comments after training were: excellent, very good, super, ….. According to my experience Mrs. Turner is a very professional person who knows how to run courses and how to attract participants with the content. I also had a very good experience when I was organizing those two courses. Communication with Mrs. Turner was very smooth and I got all the needed information and materials on time. Two of our customers attended GC-MS training in UK and they were also very satisfied with the training quality as well as with logistics.”

Emil Skocir - Sales Engineer, Chemass

“At DSM Resolve we’ve had the pleasure to have Diane as course leader of a masterclass thermal desorption GC-MS. It has been a very professional course, where we have learned a lot from the profound theoretical as well as practical knowledge of Diane on this field. Following this course, we were able to implement the tips & tricks we learned for several of our own TD applications, leading to improved methods. This has been acknowledged already by our own customers, which proofs that the course was totally worth it. Hence I fully recommend Diane as trainer/consultant on this matter.”

In June 2014, our 5-day Complete GC and GC-MS course was hosted by the National Rehabilitation Centre in Abu Dhabi, UAE. This unique opportunity resulted from Dr Abuelgasim Elrasheed Alhassan having attended our 5-day Complete GC & GC-MS course in the UK and subsequently developed a working relationship with us.
