Founder's profile & history
Bruce Robertson obtained a BSc Hons in Engineering Science at Exeter University UK in 1979. Subsequently at the prestigious GEC Hirst Research Centre, he became the youngest R&D group leader, responsible for evaluating and experimenting with promising emerging technologies in the fields of fiber optics, test & measurement, semiconductor manufacture, sensors, robotics, defence and manufacturing. He then moved to Australia, and took on a role as an engineering consultant with an interest in optics, photonics, and electronics. Bruce & Rosmin founded the company in 1986, and Bruce developed the world's first handheld optical laser source for fiber optic testing. The couple were surprised at how well the product was received, and Kingfisher's reputation for driving precision, accuracy, practicality, and thoughtful design has preceded it ever since.
Kingfisher is presently owned and operated by Bruce Robertson, remains an industry leader of handheld fiber test solutions. Kingfisher has received numerous endorsements from government and industry bodies.
