Andrew Watson – has been directly involved in food and water microbiology for 30 years from an “educational” degree student placement year, through Lab Technician, Lab Manager, Sales of Laboratory Services and as a Laboratory Auditor. Andrew has experience in all aspects of laboratory operations from the bench up from making media through sample analysis of food, water and non-consumable products to classical and kit based confirmation tests. Extensive managerial experience in dealing with staff, clients and auditors, plus with compiling manuals and working to accreditation requirements there are very few areas unfamiliar to him.
He says “LABhelp offers the opportunity to take a fresh look at laboratory systems and streamline them where possible and practical, whilst still maintaining all the necessary information. Records can be redesigned to better capture all necessary detail and procedures can be reworded to better demonstrate compliance with accreditation body and retailer requirements. Cost and time savings are often the result allowing staff more time carry out their functions making their time more productive and businesses more efficient and ultimately more profitable.”

Her experience has been gained from positions as a microbiologist in the poultry industry, dry-products industry through medical/pharmaceuticals to Lab Manager of a busy food testing Central Microbiology Lab and more recently as a Laboratory Auditor compliant with ISO 17025.
