Molecule to Market: Inside the outsourcing space

Meet the potent powder expert


Listen Later

In this episode of Molecule to Market, you’ll go inside the outsourcing space of the global drug development sector with Chris Eccles, Chief Executive Officer at ChargePoint Technology. Your host, Raman Sehgal, discusses the pharmaceutical and biotechnology supply chain with Chris, covering:

  • The journey from a management buy-out (MBO) to running a £20m,100-person, global business.
  • Benefit of investing in technology within sterile environments to avoid cross contamination and prevent expensive downtime.
  • A perfect storm of market factors that are driving demand for ChargePoint and its products, including the explosion of facility investments in the CDMO space.
  • The shift towards single use technologies yet the need to combat plastic usage. And how sustainability will become a core business issue and a major valuation metric for buyers.
  • An inside look into the virtual process of ChargePoint’s recent acquisition by Arcline Investment Management and the dizzying level of buyers that were in the running for the fast-growing business.
  • Chris has managed the global business expansion of ChargePoint across all functions including offices based in the UK, Europe, America and Far East. His background in manufacturing management and precision engineering was instrumental in determining the strategy to outsource manufacturing through strategic acquisitions and equipment investments, including the investment in cleanroom technology and disposable manufacturing processes in 2019 and the managed recruitment of technical resources.

    As CEO of ChargePoint, Chris has developed a strong positive culture within ChargePoint, focussed on honesty, integrity, and quality which is ultimately reflected in customer satisfaction, employee retention. And the recent successful acquisition of ChargePoint by Arcline Investment Management.
