Clare has  over 20 years of experience in ensuring compliance with regulatory standards such as GXP Regulations (GLP, GMP, GCP), ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 17025, with a strong track record in maintaining high standards of quality across diverse industries,

Before joining Test Labs, Clare held the role of Quality Assurance Manager at Oxford Analytical Services Ltd. in Bicester, UK, where she was responsible for overseeing compliance with GLP, GMP, and ISO 17025 across the company’s test facility. In this role, Clare planned and conducted a wide range of audits, from internal studies and processes to supplier assessments, ensuring adherence to both internal and external quality standards. She also played a pivotal role in managing the Quality Management System (QMS), ensuring all processes and systems were validated, qualified, and compliant with regulatory guidelines.

Before joining Oxford Analytical Services, Clare held significant roles at G.C. Laboratories Ltd., where she advanced from Quality Assurance Officer to Senior Quality Assurance Officer, contributing to compliance efforts in the agrochemical, pharmaceutical, and animal health sectors. In this capacity, Clare maintained close communication with senior management, clients, and regulatory authorities, delivering specialised training and overseeing the development and management of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Additionally, Clare led internal audits, CAPA investigations, and risk management activities, ensuring robust compliance monitoring and continuous improvement.

Earlier in her career, she worked at Whitbread PLC, where Clare managed the Gas Chromatography Laboratory and led projects in both the brewery and Beefeater divisions, integrating HACCP practices into the restaurant environment.

Clare’s experience spans the entire QA process, from conducting regulatory analyses to providing technical guidance to staff.  I find it particularly rewarding contributing to new initiatives, improving processes, and providing expert guidance in maintaining regulatory compliance and ensuring the highest quality standards.
