The business has been structured in such a way that it can provide efficient and effective end-to-end support to its clients; working with specific functional areas or working alongside a client from first concept through to the clinic door. This means that clients can benefit from individual specialities as well as the scale and breadth of the Concept Life Sciences business.”

We have built an organisation that delivers one of the widest range of analytical services available in Europe. In order to stay at the forefront of what we do we recognise that we need to engage with the best and brightest people in the industry and stay abreast of the ever-changing nature of the industries with which we work.
