About Cherwell Laboratories

Lawrence founded Cherwell Laboratories back in 1971, as a veterinary diagnostic laboratory. Since then, the business has evolved into a manufacturing and distribution company with clients across the UK and Europe. Lawrence said, "It is very satisfying to see how the company has developed, although I would never have guessed the path it would follow back in 1971! I am very pleased it has matured into a stable and profitable enterprise with a stable customer base."

Andy has been Managing Director at Cherwell since 2005. He originally joined the business in 1990 as a service engineer then transferred into sales, eventually joining the board as Sales Director in 1994. Since being appointed MD he has overseen significant growth in the business.

Andy is a Cranfield School of Management Business Growth Programme alumnus and is second generation in the family business.
