VPS congratulate Technical Advisor, Divin Silla Davis, who has successfully passed the Machinery Lubricant Analyst (MLA) Level II examination, awarded by the International Council for Machinery Lubrication (ICML).

This is a significant achievement and reflects Divin’s commitment to advancing his expertise in machinery lubrication and condition monitoring.

VPS can now proudly confirm that every one of its Oil Condition Monitoring (OCM) Technical Advisors, hold a minimum MLA II qualification. In addition, Adrian Allman-VPS Group OCM Operations Development Manager and Jeff Edwards – VPS Technical Advisor, each hold the MLA III qualification, which is the highest level certificate within the ICML MLA pathway.

This demonstrates VPS's commitment to technical excellence and provides additional assurance to our customers that the technical advice, recommendations, and report interpretations issued by our OCM team are supported by internationally recognised qualifications and extensive industry expertise.

From a customer perspective, this is particularly important as VPS OCM reports are regularly used to support operational decision-making, maintenance planning, warranty discussions, technical investigations and where necessary, dispute resolution processes. Having a team of certified MLA professionals reviewing and approving these reports further strengthens their technical credibility and defensibility.

Well Done to Divin and the VPS OCM Technical Advisory Team.
