Telford firm expands its healthcare expertise
A Telford-based global chemical manufacturer has strengthened its healthcare decontamination expertise by acquiring a local business. The move brings together two trusted names in the town’s business community.
Serchem, which is based on Hortonwood 10, has completed the acquisition of Serve Medical. Serve Medical, based at The Ercall Suite on Stafford Park, is a provider of validation and servicing for hospital decontamination units.
Since it was founded in 2008, the company has built a reputation for reliability and precision, supporting both NHS and private healthcare providers across the country. Its services cover clean room testing, steriliser testing and more.
Oliver Wadlow, Director at Serchem, said: “This is a significant step forward for Serchem as we welcome the Serve Medical team into our family. The fit between the two organisations, in terms of both services and culture, is a natural one.
“It will remain very much business as usual for both companies.”
Ean Andrews-Whalley, who will continue as Managing Director of Serve Medical, said: “Having worked very closely with Serchem over many years it all feels very natural to be formally joining the family.
“Our validation and servicing offering combined with the chemistry expertise at Serchem makes me very excited about the future, and what the two businesses can achieve together.”
Serchem, founded in 1981, is a family-run business and a leader in hygiene and decontamination chemistry. With over 40 years of experience, it supplies hospitals, healthcare providers and facilities worldwide.
The acquisition will bring together Serchem’s chemistry innovation with Serve Medical’s track record in testing, validation and compliance. Together, the two companies will provide customers with a more comprehensive solution.
