S & D Garritt Limited | About Us
Leading the way in acoustics since 1981…
Company History
S & D Garritt Limited was first setup in the early 1980’s by the late Stephen Garritt, during his years of service his children David and Elizabeth both joined the business. The company is now owned jointly by David and Elizabeth and we are both highly committed to continuing to uphold the highest standard of acoustic consultancy.
We have been members of The Association of Noise Consultants (ANC) since 2006 and we are also members of the Institute of Acoustics (IOA). David became a member in 2005, Elizabeth in 2009 and Steve was originally an IOA member in 1977!
We have both been involved with acoustics since a young age, joining our Dad at various (suitable) sites as teenagers. We are possibly the only siblings who have tried to sort out the ‘Your music is too loud’ childhood arguments with the assistance of a sound level meter!

I graduated with an honours degree in Electronic and Computer Systems Engineering from Loughborough University in 2004, then completed a post-graduate course in acoustics at Leeds Metropolitan University in 2005, but I started in acoustics from a much younger age.
I have taught acoustics at post graduate level on a part time basis for the Institute of Acoustics between 2010 and 2021 at Leeds Beckett University, which continued a role my Dad undertook from 1983 – 2010. I sit on the Marketing and PR committee for the Association of Noise Consultants and I am one of their media spokespeople. I have authored industry guides and articles and enjoyed a very interesting career in acoustics.
