The NEPIC (Northeast of England Process Industry Cluster) Annual Awards are designed to recognise the success and achievements of members operating in the hi-tech manufacturing marketplace including the chemical, pharmaceutical, petrochemical and biotechnology sectors among others. The awards provide a platform from which to celebrate the vital contribution that the manufacturing and process industries are making to the regional, national and global economy.
Speaking of her award, Helen commented: “It is a great privilege to be recognised by the NEPIC with this young achiever accolade. People skills are as important as technical skills in the pharmaceutical contract manufacturing market and this award is reflective of the high HR standards that are applied across Aesica. I am proud to be part of the Aesica HR team and look forward to continuing to play my part in the company’s success.”
