Building on Quality and Regulatory Expertise
Nancy and Stuart created IVDeology in 2018 to provide support to IVD Manufacturers throughout their compliance journey, building long term relationships with our customers, suppliers and industry stakeholders. We have been honoured to support many projects throughout the EU IVDR and UKCA transitions, and helped deliver diagnostic tests and IVD accessories throughout the Covid-19 outbreak.
This opportunity builds on the continued growth and success of the IVDeology group providing expert regulatory, quality and compliance services to the in-vitro diagnostic industry. We have always welcomed collaboration with our strategic partners to be part of a holistic approach to deliver end to end support to the industry, from SME and micro businesses to large, multi-national IVD manufacturers. Stuart and Nancy will continue to lead IVDeology as part of the wider Abingdon Health group. We will also continue to work with our existing customers and partners, but be able to offer a wider range of connected services via Abingdon Health in conjunction with the existing Quality and Regulatory services.
Stuart Angell, Managing Director IVDeology commented:
Myself, Nancy and the rest of the IVDeology team are excited to be joining the Abingdon Health Group. The in vitro diagnostics sector is under a significant period of regulatory change in the UK, EU and internationally. By combining our collective skills, knowledge and expertise, we can support our customers and the wider IVD industry with the collective breadth of knowledge that this opportunity provides.
Chris Yates, CEO, commented:
“We’re delighted to welcome Stuart, Nancy and the rest of the IVDeology team to the Abingdon Health group. The acquisition of IVDeology is in line with Abingdon’s strategy of providing our customers with all the pieces of the jigsaw required to bring products from idea to commercial success. The IVDeology team will strengthen Abingdon’s existing knowledge leadership and regulatory expertise. We look forward to working with the IVDeology team and supporting existing and new customers in navigating a regulatory environment going through a period of significant change.”
