UK contract manufacturing organisation, Aesica Pharmaceuticals, has promoted Edd Wood from his role as regulatory affairs manager to director of corporate quality.
Wood has been based at the firm’s Cramlington site since its inception in 2004. Prior to this he worked in quality assurance and quality control at BASF and Procter & Gamble.
More recently he played a key role at Aesica in establishing its manufacturing presence in Europe and ensuring consistent, stringent quality protocols were implemented at the sites the company acquired in 2011. Wood’s experience was harnessed to enhance the company’s wider approach to quality control and assurance and his new role will be instrumental in shaping quality and validation protocols in the future.
He will provide corporate support to the manufacturing operations team at Aesica and oversee the continuous implementation of new and enhanced quality measures across all of the firm’s manufacturing sites.
