“We are extremely proud of how we have grown the business. We give our customers value for money in the most efficient way, keeping our overheads low and managing our resources effectively.”

“It is a pleasure to work with such a talented team of engineers; we have worked incredibly hard to establish ourselves as the innovators of new medical devices.”

Tom continued: “These regulatory requirements are intended to ensure that manufacturers consistently design, produce and place onto the market medical devices that are safe and fit for their intended purpose. This BSI registration is the pathway to our continued success and we achieved this in just 12 months. It demonstrates the effective interconnectivity of our processes.”
