Mark Hammond
Cormica CEO
“This recognition is a testament to the dedication, expertise, and collaboration of our microbiology team. Wickham Micro has a long-standing reputation for excellence and innovation, and this award reinforces our continued focus on helping clients navigate complex testing and regulatory demands. I want to thank our clients for their trust and congratulate every member of the team on this achievement.”
“First and foremost, the two biggest things we value are quality and patient safety. That comes above all else we do. Our customers face increased regulation and rising cost pressures. They want a partner they trust, who understands the regulations, follows them precisely, and delivers results in a cost-effective and timely way. We have the in-house expertise to take on unique or unconventional projects, not just standard regulatory testing. We have a lot of technical expertise and knowledge transfer to apply from one client and study to another. That is what sets us apart.”
