ClinTec International celebrated a year of international growth with Glasgow’s Lord Provost, guests, country managers and directors from more than 40 countries, at the ClinTec International Global Conference in Glasgow, Scotland.
The full service clinical research organisation was recently recognised as the UK’s Best Full Service Clinical Research Organisation at the Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals Awards 2015, organised by Global Health & Pharma. This sits alongside the previously received Queens Award for Enterprise and the 2015 Business Woman of the Year at the Glasgow Business Awards.
Commenting on ClinTec’s growth, the Lord Provost said: 'ClinTec International has had an exceptional year of growth and is a great asset to the UK business sector. These awards show the diversity and quality of the team, which has grown together to develop the global business ClinTec International is today.'
Building strong teams and promoting group work, along with open minded, individual thinking has always been a priority for ClinTec. The company fosters an open communication culture at all levels, giving the opportunity for everyone to express their opinion.
Bobby Bal, Chief Business Officer, said: 'This has been an amazing year for us as ClinTec has expanded its operations into more than 50 countries. ClinTec now has new entities in Japan, Canada, South Korea, New Zealand and Hong Kong. This success lies with our people and their amazing dedication. At ClinTec we are committed to developing our employees and we are convinced that our employees are our greatest asset.'
Founded in 1997 by Dr Rabinder Buttar, ClinTec's exceptional growth is continuing as the company is on track to deliver its 25% revenue growth target for this year.
A key step in ClinTec’s recent African expansion has been the opening of a new office in Johannesburg. This is allowing the company to offer enhanced personalised service delivery across Africa. The presentation of the Corporate Achievement Award, won by ClinTec at the recent African Achievement Awards for its efforts in helping to develop business and achieve growth within Africa, was made at the ClinTec Global Conference.
Beltus Etchu, Chair of African Forum Scotland, said: 'This is a most exciting and opportune time for dynamic companies to be active in the African continent. ClinTec has demonstrated both the insight and foresight to prepare itself to capture this window of opportunity. It has made marvellous strides in pursuing its ethical and totally professional approach to growing its clinical research business in South Africa, Malawi and now into Kenya. We look forward in the coming years to assisting ClinTec grow further into Central and Western Sub-Saharan Africa.'
