Cherwell Laboratories
is celebrating its 40
th anniversary this November. Founded in 1971
by Lawrence Whittard as a veterinary diagnostic laboratory, Cherwell has
evolved over the years to dedicate its products and services to environmental
monitoring and validation of sterilisation processes. The company's fully
integrated product range for microbiological and quality assurance applications
includes Redipor prepared media, SAS microbial air samplers, DataTrace wireless
datalogging systems, as well as the recently acquired UK distributorships for
Raven and Apex Laboratories' biological indicators.
A family company since its inception, Cherwell
prides itself on developing long-lasting and often two-way relationships; International
PBI is one such example. What began as a promotion and service-based
relationship has since developed into a long-standing, very close distributor
relationship for the SAS air sampler range within the UK market, and Redipor
prepared media for the Italian market. Roberto Ligugnana, President of
International PBI, affirms this.
"It was over 30 years ago when I first met
Lawrence Whittard in Milan and the start of a co-operation in the field of
environmental microbiology. The
introduction of the SAS (Surface Air System) air sampler by International PBI,
combined with the production of ready to use, filled Contact Plates by
Cherwell, formed a strong alliance," said Roberto Ligugnana. "International PBI
and Cherwell Laboratories in partnership are always ready for the introduction
of new methods and techniques in the interest of the international microbiology
community."
Following seven years of sustained positive
company growth, including a 20% increase in export sales in the past financial
year, Cherwell will soon be opening its newly expanded cleanroom-based
manufacturing and warehousing facility. This will help to ensure the Company's
continued growth and expansion, whilst guaranteeing that product stock is
always
rapidly
available to
customers, whatever the
quantity required.
"We pride ourselves in developing
long-standing and profitable business relationships by delivering excellent
customer service and support, so reaching our 40
th anniversary is a
testament to our dedication to that," said Andy Whittard, Managing Director. "Our
ability to supply variable quantities of prepared media products alongside our
bespoke solutions sets us apart from other organisations and our ongoing
expansion provides us with the foothold for our future growth."
