Advanced Healthcare's Longest Serving Employee Retires

Ray Ward retired from his position as Packaging & Inventory Manager at Advanced Healthcare on 3rd June 2009 after over 20 years service. He was the longest serving employee at the firm, having been one of its earliest recruits and the first to achieve the 20 year service mark.

He was given a good send off by the staff in a lunchtime party and presented with some garden furniture, a flat-screen TV, Scotch whisky and some B&Q vouchers. Ray said "After 20 good years at AHL I am now moving on to another position (retirement). My new title will be Chief Executive Officer..... in charge of long lie-ins, breakfast in bed, gardening, travel, lunchtime drinking and afternoon napping. I won't miss getting up at 5.30 each morning but I will miss the wonderful staff at Advanced Healthcare." Ray's cheerful nature and never ending enthusiasm to get the job done will be missed at AHL but we've promised to keep in touch.

Advanced Healthcare Strengthens Technical Team

Advanced Healthcare Ltd. recently strengthened its technical team with the recruitment of two extra graduates. Firstly, Dr. Marielle Pujo joined AHL on Tuesday 5th May 2009 as Operations Manager. After graduating in Chemical Engineering in her native France she went on to get an MSc and then a PhD in Biochemical Engineering at Birmingham University. Marielle then gained experience as a process engineer working for British Biotech in Oxford and Life Sciences Meissner + Wurst in Stuttgart before joining Glaxo –Smith- Kline (GSK) where she gained over ten years of project management experience in pilot plant and manufacturing facilities. AHL General Manager, David Moore, welcomed Marielle to the company saying “She has a good knowledge of big-company pharmaceutical process management and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) management which will be very useful to AHL. We needed an engineer in the team; her skills and experience should be a tremendous asset to us. “ Marielle is married with two children and goes running in her spare time to keep fit.

Secondly, Sunil Patel started work for AHL on 8th June 2009 as a Research Scientist. Sunil obtained his first degree in Pharmacy in his native Gujurat, India and then moved to the UK where he got an MSc in Pharmaceutical Sciences from the University of Greenwich. He then had a successful spell in the New Product Development Department of Reckitt Benckiser Healthcare where he was instrumental in developing brand name products including the latest generation of ‘Veet’ depilatory aerosol. Sunil brings a wide knowledge and experience of premium healthcare products which will undoubtedly benefit AHL in extending the range of quality products developed by the company. He will be getting married in December this year.

AHL Has Moved!

Advanced Healthcare Limited (AHL) is pleased to announce that it has expanded its dental materials manufacturing site during September of 2008. The main factory has remained in its current position but by acquiring two adjacent units the company has been able to move it's packaging and raw materials warehouses, offices and laboratories next to the factory making a more convenient and efficient set-up. The new units have undergone complete renovation in an extensive investment programme including mezzanine floors and complete refit. AHL have been rather cramped in their old premises so the expansion of facilities is a great relief and it will greatly enhance communications across the site.

New doorways between the factory and the new units will effectively combine them into one building. Until now AHL have occupied four separate buildings close to each other in the same industrial estate, with the factory, packaging warehouse, main office and laboratory all separate from one another. AHL has moved out of the old offices, warehouses and laboratories, vacating three smaller old buildings. This was phased to make the project smooth and easy, unlike a full scale move might have been.

As they have moved out of the building known as Dukes Factory have dropped the line "Dukes Factory" from their address but otherwise all of their contact details will remain unchanged as the postcode is the same. Dukes Factory is currently used mainly as offices and got its name from its former status as the factory where Dukes cricket balls were made up until the 1980s.

Since the manufacturing facilities themselves were not be affected in the expansion and no fixed machinery was moved, AHL did not experience any disruption in the supply of their extensive range of high quality dental materials. These include the branded products Amalgomer and Amalgomer CR, the world's strongest glass ionomers. AHL also makes an extensive range of private label filling materials, cements, prophy pastes, impression materials, cleansers, etchants, bonding agents, etc. all sold under other companies' names. The company exports 60% of its output and its largest export market is the quality-conscious, Japanese one, for whom it makes the country's largest selling prophy paste.
