Meet the Team

Dave Barker

Technical, Director


It all started by programming the 8bits in the 80s and playing with electronics. Joining Davis Decade in 1995 I swiftly moved from production to installation, service and calibration and finally Technical Manager ten years later developing existing and new products.

Two years later I moved to Zytek Automotive as an Electronic Engineer until returning to Decade in 2015.

With young children my previous hobbies of playing football and music have been side-lined and replaced by Peppa Pig and Thomas The Tank Engine.

Carolyn Nash

Office Manager


Starting at Decade in February 2018, my previous experience involved working with internal and external customers in both the retail and education sectors, and I am looking forward to working in engineering products and services. I am excited about the new products that we have to offer and how our innovations can assist wider manufacturing businesses. My role at Decade is to ensure customers experience is handled as smoothly and efficiently as possible.
