ALS Pharma's General Manager is shortlisted as trailblazer for Women in Science award

Sharon Hanly, General Manager of ALS's pharmaceutical testing laboratory in Ely, has been shortlisted for a major business award.

The 'First Women Awards' supported by the CBI, is the UK's leading awards programme for senior-level business women and professionals. Since its conception in 2005, the awards have grown in influence and impact and enjoy the support of many of the UK's leading firms, industry bodies and inspirational business leaders.

Sharon has been shortlisted for the First Woman award in the Science and Technology category. She joined as a 16-year old school leaver before working her way up to become one of the first female General Managers in the sector in 2006. During that time, she has engineered the growth of a successful, accredited, multi-million pound testing facility that Sharon helped to select and build from scratch over a decade ago.

"It's a privilege to be shortlisted alongside other nominees from the likes of Ernst and Young, National Grid and Cisco." comments Sharon Hanly. "It is also very rewarding to be involved in anything that can help boost the talent pool in science, from classroom to laboratory."

In the meantime, Sharon Hanly is focusing on overseeing the completion of a new expanded laboratory at Ely as a result of a £2 million injection by the parent company, ALS Global.

"We're looking forward to the official opening of these new premises this September that will quadruple our microbiology facilities and extend our batch release test programme and storage trials capacity."

The decision on who wins the Women in Science Award will be made by an illustrious judges' panel and announced at a gala Awards ceremony at the Lancaster Hotel, London, on June 22nd.
