Copley is the world’s leading manufacturer and supplier of inhaler testing equipment and a major provider of test equipment for other pharmaceutical dosage forms. Founded in Nottingham nearly eight decades ago, the company has an enviable reputation for export success, leveraging best-in-class in-house expertise and a UK-centric specialist supply chain to deliver innovative products recognised worldwide for their utility, reliability, and relevance.

‘The Copley team is delighted with this win,’ said Mr Jamie Clayton, CEO, Copley ‘which is a tribute to sustained hard work by every member of the company. We’re a third generation, family-owned business, proud of our roots in the region. Our success is predicated on enduring values, notably a commitment to excellence, and though we’ve grown over the years, we retain the very best attributes of a small company: agility, creativity, and personalised dedication to customers. A thriving pharmaceutical industry benefits everyone, and we’re committed to providing the innovative, reliable products needed for breakthrough drug development and efficient manufacture.’

Operating on a global stage, Copley combines an extensive product portfolio with a growing team of highly skilled experts and a reputation for outstanding customer service – from first contact to after sales support, and training. The company is a trusted partner for pharmaceutical companies of every scale, from major multinationals to emerging start-ups. Copley’s commitment to its people is equally strong; the company was recently recognised as a Gold Investors in People organisation, underlining its status as an exceptional place to work.

‘We’re immensely grateful to The BusinessDesk.com for this recognition,’ added Clayton. ‘Our focus is usually on looking ahead, anticipating future requirements and working to improve, so the evening and award were a great opportunity to pause, reflect, and appreciate just how far we’ve already come.’
