Revenues surge at Salford’s Bioclinics in record year

Salford-based testing firm BioClinics has seen annual revenues reach £500k for the first time in the company’s history.

BioClinics achieved the milestone in the 12 months to August, as revenues rose 51% from £330k.

During the year, the company moved headquarters to a 19th century former Welsh Chapel on Peel Street, Eccles, grew staff numbers from nine to 14.

The firm also increased its network of testing clinics and mobile sample collectors across the UK and Ireland from 120 to 170.

Nichola McChrystal (right) , who set up the business in 2005, said: “We have recently gained accreditations to conduct testing in the rail, transport and utilities sectors, and we are looking to introduce new services over the coming months.

“These developments give us a strong platform from which to achieve a further significant rise in revenues during the current financial year.

“We expect to increase our workforce in line with this growth. Our new headquarters give us scope to ultimately double the size of our team.”
