Because one day we might be the patient, and you want to be sure!

Our Why is Important to Us

Cherwell manufactures and supplies cleanroom microbiology solutions to pharmaceutical and related industries across the UK and Europe from our site in Bicester, Oxfordshire.

Cherwell started life in 1971 and is still a family-owned business; the founder was our current MD’s Dad! We are a dedicated group who truly believe in doing things right. Our values of Reliable, Adaptable and Partnership play to the importance we place on not only working together, but more importantly on focusing on our customer’s needs, and delivering on those wishes. We believe in making high quality products, not cheap products, that truly help our customers be more effective.

Our business relies on individuals who are dedicated to doing things to a high standard, every time and against defined procedures. Therefore, attention to detail is vital as every element is critical in producing a top-quality product.

At Cherwell we are part of a really important supply chain, at the end of which is a patient, trusting the healthcare professionals and treatments prescribed for their recovery. The drugs our clients manufacture must meet exacting standards and our products help them ensure these standards are met, every day.

We are ambitious; our 5 year strategy is named Accelerate – a change in velocity and our mission is to be the first company the pharma industry thinks of for cleanroom microbiology - the go to provider.

To realise this ambition we need great people. We already have a fantastic team; however, our ambitious growth plans mean we will need more people to fulfil an ever expanding variety of roles.

To achieve our ambitions over the next five years will require renewed energy and desire from our people, individuals who want to make a difference and help us on our journey.

Life at Cherwell can be fun and rewarding, we have a strong sense of caring - we are a friendly group with an open, accessible culture. Like any business we have challenges and sometimes we can be a little restrained and reactive. A key factor for our future success is picking up the pace of change and being more proactive. There will be opportunity to help shape the future of the business and to help design and implement new ways of working.

It is exciting times for Cherwell and the team!

“I enjoy coming to work and remember my first day clearly when the MD passed me in on the stairs, recognised I was new, knew my name and said hello. It is obvious the people at the top are in touch with their staff, the management team are all very approachable and know what is going on.”
