BioPhorum has acquired Compliance Hub, a UK-based specialist provider of ABPI Code of Practice training, consultancy, and audit services. The acquisition advances BioPhorum’s strategy to expand its capabilities in support of the highly regulated pharmaceutical industry, spanning the development of industry best practice through to implementation and training services, extending customer value.
Established in 2009, Compliance Hub provides creative compliance solutions to a broad client base, including pharmaceutical companies, and their commercial and associated agencies working within the life sciences sector. Compliance Hub has been a pioneer in developing tailored training, audit and consultancy programmes specifically designed to support its clients operating under self-regulatory Codes of Practice in the UK and Europe.
Over the past 18 months, BioPhorum has integrated specialist training providers Brookwood Global and Inspired Pharma into its business. The addition of Compliance Hub further strengthens this platform, broadening BioPhorum’s best‑practice‑driven training offer, including essential GxP training, across the pharmaceutical value chain—from clinical development and manufacturing through to commercial, marketing and medical affairs.
By extending its training capabilities, BioPhorum is reinforcing the connection between its core Phorum activities and practical implementation, supporting organisations not only in defining industry best practice, but in embedding and applying it in highly regulated, real‑world operating environments.
We are delighted to welcome Compliance Hub into the BioPhorum family,” said Deborah Kobewka, CEO of BioPhorum. “This acquisition strengthens our capabilities in a critical area of the pharmaceutical value chain and supports our strategy to more closely connect insight, collaboration and implementation. Compliance Hub’s deep expertise in the ABPI, EFPIA and ABHI Codes further enhances our ability to support both our members and the wider industry as they navigate increasingly complex regulatory success environments.”
Steve Gray, Founder of Compliance Hub, has said, “I am tremendously proud of what Compliance Hub has achieved independently, pioneering compliance solutions for the pharmaceutical industry. Joining the BioPhorum group marks an exciting and natural next step, providing us with a truly global platform to share our specialist expertise and drive business growth. I am looking forward to working with Biophorum to provide our existing clients with new and enhanced services and to open up new opportunities.
Claire Puddiphatt, General Manager at Compliance Hub, commented: “We are delighted to be joining the BioPhorum group. Since our founding, we have earned a reputation for delivering, innovative compliance solutions and pragmatic advice to the pharmaceutical industry. By combining our specialist expertise with BioPhorum’s global reach and collaborative framework, we look forward to extending our impact and continuing to make compliance a positive and practical experience for our loyal clients and the broader industry.”.
