John first started his industrial career at the age of 16 as a technician with ICI. Following several years’ laboratory experience he went on to study at the University of Southampton
for a degree in chemistry, staying on to complete his PhD with Phil Parsons.
John then took up a NATO-funded post-doctoral position with Gilbert Stork before returning to the UK to work for Glaxo, initially in medicinal chemistry before transferring to chemical development.
John then moved to work for a small contract research organisation which, after significant growth became Evotec. John left Evotec at the end of 2007, following 14 years in the CRO arena,
to join Scientific Update LLP where he provided training and consultancy services.
In January 2015 John established his own consultancy business and in April 2016 also became a Visiting Industrial Professor at the University of Bristol, UK.
John’s main professional focus is in working with early stage chemical development projects and transfer to plant, often working with small pharma companies where he helps with CMC
issues and securing material supplies for toxicological studies and Phase I and II clinical trials.
