Lab M names new sales and marketing director

Lab M has announced the appointment of Wendy Martindale as its new director of sales and marketing, joining the firm from one of Europe's largest laboratory services companies.

A scientist by training, Ms Martindale brings wide commercial experience at a senior level to her new role, joining Lab M at a time when the company is experiencing significant commercial and operational growth.

Since moving into expanded state-of-the-art headquarters in July 2012, Lab M has added a number of new products and formats to its range, meaning the business has had to adapt to increased productivity and output.

As such, the role of sales and marketing director will be instrumental as the company continues to enter new markets and business areas.

Lab M's managing director Ian Morris said: "We will all benefit from Wendy's strong business focus and deep understanding both of our products and the needs of our customers."

This comes after the firm launched a new iron sulphite agar product last month, for use in the detection of thermophilic anaerobes.
