FlexMedical picks up major award

On 13 March, FlexMedical had the pleasure of attending Scotland’s Life Sciences Awards. The event took place at the Hilton Doubletree in Glasgow and was a celebration of the amazing and innovative work carried out by the Life Sciences sector in Scotland.

Innovation across human and AAA Bio Tech and Pharma, rising industry stars, and the development of people skills, are amongst the categories that the event shines a light on, recognising and celebrating the extraordinary work of the sector, and its positive impact and contribution to health. 

FlexMedical had been selected as a finalist for the category of ‘Outstanding Skills Development’ in response to delivery of a dedicated people programme that focussed on developing our company culture, core values, and our peoples’ skills.

A glittering affair was promised, as the 600+ guests were piped in wearing their black-tie attire.  We certainly brushed up well!

The evening began with a welcome from the Industry Leadership Group Chair, Mark Cook, with the audience then treated to a pre-dinner speech delivered by comedian and quizzer, Paul Sinah (“The Sinnerman”) from ITV’s The Chase.  Paul was quite the hit, sharing about himself and background with wicked wit.  Following a lovely meal, we were then on to the order of the day, the reason for being there, the main event, the awards themselves.  A palpable buzz around the venue could be felt!

We waited anxiously as awards were announced.  Then it came, the moment we were waiting for, the ‘Outstanding Skills Development’ category.  “And the winner for significant and sustainable contribution in increasing skills, and the positive business outcomes achieved as a result, goes to FlexMedical Solutions!”  With trembling and excitement, we approached the stage to take receipt of the coveted award.  We had done it, achieving national award!

It was a great night and one that we will remember for years to come.  Our trophy (pictured below) will take pride of place in the office; unlike Adele, or some other well-known celebrities, we’ll not be using it as a door stop.
