Daniel Spearman

Principal Scientist - Distribution Testing, Materials Science and Engineering

UK Expertise in Packaging Distribution and Environmental Testing

Daniel is the technical lead for environmental and bespoke distribution testing projects - based at Smithers Distribution Testing Laboratory in Leatherhead, UK. Working with clients across sectors including medical, pharmaceutical, FMCG and electronics, he helps translate real-world supply chain challenges into accurate, laboratory-based testing solutions.

With a background in physics and extensive experience in primary and secondary packaging performance, Daniel supports clients in understanding how packaging behaves throughout the distribution cycle. He has led a wide range of test programmes, from large-scale palletised loads to specialised single-product simulations.

Environmental and Bespoke Testing

Specialising in environmental testing, Daniel advises on temperature and humidity conditioning, shock and drop testing, high-frequency vibration (above 300 Hz), and accelerometer-monitored test sequences.

He also develops bespoke test methods to replicate client-specific distribution pathways, helping ensure testing reflects real-world logistics and distribution conditions.

Qualifications and Professional Accreditation

Daniel holds an honours degree in Physics from King’s College London.
