A chemist by trade Michael started selling analytical instruments in the UK and then in the USA. Shortly after his return to the UK Michael launched Labmate UK & Ireland a product card booklet for scientists and laboratory managers based in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Labmate UK & Ireland is still being read by laboratory scientists today and has evolved from its original format into a scientific journal containing product announcements, research and application articles, industry news stories and conference and exhibition reports.
In 1976 the company expands into Europe with the launch of International Labmate for scientists based in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. International Labmate highlights the latest research and application reports in chromatography, spectroscopy, microscopy and new product releases.
