BSL was started in February 2013 by Chris Watts after he left Microsemi (now part of Microchip). The first development contract was signed just one day after the company was registered, three days after Chris left Microsemi. There followed a year of contract design work for Microsemi and GCD (subcontract of work for Pyronix). Then Chris went on sabbatical working for Golledge Electronics, to help out, as the current Chief engineer (Mike Hall) wanted to retire. 11 years later that episode is coming to and end. The intention is to provide a range of services drawing on Chris’ long experience in the UK electronics industry first as an RF design engineer and then systems engineer, and finally AFE.
BSL operates from Chris’ home in Bridgwater, Somerset.
