London Medical Laboratory named one of this year’s J.P. Morgan top 200 women-powered businesses

London Medical Laboratory, the revolutionary omnichannel blood testing and health check business, has been recognised as one of 2023’s J. P. Morgan UK Top 200 Women-Powered Businesses.

The pioneering work of Flavia Araujo‑Rankin, founder & co‑CEO of London Medical Laboratory, has been featured in the J.P. Morgan UK Top 200 Women-Powered Businesses 2023 report. The list celebrates the significant contribution women-powered businesses make to the economy.

Women-owned and led businesses are critical to the success of our global community and economies. This report identifies high-growth women-powered businesses and highlights the wide range of roles women play in British companies.

London Medical Laboratory was chosen as one of the fastest-growing women- powered businesses. It is the UK’s first omnichannel blood testing, diagnostic and health check business and a major disruptor in the healthcare sector.

Flavia says: “I am delighted for my entire team that London Medical Laboratory has been included in this inspirational list of companies. From microbiologists to managers to marketers, women have played a vital role across LML, from our small beginnings in 2016 to our success today. I’d like to thank every one of them who has been a part of that journey.

“There are some unique insights that women can bring into the healthcare sector. Previously, I created and managed a range of successful businesses in retail, import/export and education in both the UK and Brazil. When one of my children developed diabetes, I realised there was a notable lack of access to rapid, continual blood testing to keep families fully informed.

“There has been a significant rise in patient awareness regarding self-testing. Millennials have become the “wellness generation” and the increasing elderly population needs better access to testing.

London Medical Laboratory was ranked 148 in the 2023 list – the first time the company has featured. Charlotte Bobroff and Stephanie Khalef-Wassmer, the co-heads of UK Women & Wealth & executive directors at J.P. Morgan Private Bank, say: ’For the third year in a row, we are pleased to release our report on the Top 200 UK women-powered businesses.

“This year, the report analysed over 46,000 companies that together form the UK’s high-growth ecosystem, revealing 13,255 women-powered businesses founded, led, owned, or managed by women.”
