TTP Labtech names new managing director

TTP Labtech has announced the appointment of established life science sector leader David Newble as its new managing director.

Mr Newble has a proven track record of growing life science companies, having previously served as chief executive officer at TAP Biosystems, a leading provider of automated cell culture and fermentation systems.

During David’s time as CEO, TAP developed and launched a range of small-scale automated bioreactors, growing its cell culture business fourfold as a result. The business is now part of the Sartorius Stedim Biotech Group.

Dr Jas Sangera, TTP Labtech's founder, will step away from the managing director role after acting as a key driver for the company for the last 14 years, although he will continue his role as the company's chairman.

Under his leadership, TTP Labtech has grown from being The Technology Partnership's consultancy business to become a global leader in the field of life science automation and instrumentation.

Mr Newble said: "I am looking forward to continuing to work with customers to drive product development and as a result build on the success that TTP Labtech has enjoyed historically."
