UK-based specials manufacturer Quantum Pharmaceutical has appointed Andrew Matthews as operations director to maintain high performance standards and develop the business.

Matthews has more than 12 years’ experience in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries. He has specialist knowledge in product areas for sterile and non-sterile medicines.

Matthews’ experience in quality driven operations management for unlicensed and licensed medicines will assist Quantum Pharmaceutical in its aim of strengthening links with hospitals, care home and home care pharmaceutical providers, as the company broadens its core customer base.

‘With knowledge of this niche sector of the pharmaceutical industry, Andrew is an excellent fit for Quantum but, most importantly, he brings a new skills set which will be of great benefit as we look to exploit new market opportunities.
