We are delighted to announce the appointment of Laurence Durnell to the position of Technical Director at Fenn Night Vision.
Laurence is regarded as an expert in the field and brings with him considerable experience of night vision systems and technology, gained over a long career as a Principal Scientist with QinetiQ, Farnborough.

Golden Milestone reached at Farnborough Business
Monday 28 February 2011
Peter Parr who works for Fenn Night Vision Limited in Aerospace Boulevard, Farnborough, will celebrate a rare milestone when he retires on the 4th March 2011.
Mr Parr joined Fenn’s in 1961, not long after the company was established in 1954, initially in the work shop manufacturing components for guided missiles. He later moved to Fenn Print and briefly became a machine minder on one of the Heidelberg printing presses. He will finish his career at Fenn Night Vision involved with the manufacture of night vision goggles for defence aviation.
Mr Parr said had been proud to be a part of a long established Farnborough company.
‘I have worked for Fenn’s man and boy, 50 years. I am not sure today’s youngsters have any concept of that. I have seen a great many changes since I first joined the company, spending some time on the print side. But it is in the development of night vision equipment where I have seen the greatest change. You’re talking very high tech and high performance equipment now.’
