MICHELLE YEOMANS TO JOIN EPIC AUDITORS IN APRIL

Another ex MHRA Inspector Joins the EPiC Team

EPIC Auditors is very pleased to announce that Ex MHRA Inspector Michelle Yeomans will be joining us on 7th April to fulfil the role of EPIC Auditors Operations Manager. 

Ex MHRA

EPIC Auditors was established in 2014 by Liz Allanson and Darren Jones (both ex MHRA) to fulfil the increasing need for ex MHRA Inspectors to conduct mock regulatory inspections and to provide consultancy advice from the Regulatory perspective. The company has developed considerably over the last 8 years and Michelle has been appointed to further strengthen the management team and assist with the day to day operation of the business.

Michelle is well known to the pharmaceutical industry having been in the MHRA GMP/GDP management team for many years and been a familiar face at many MHRA GMP/GDP and GCP Symposia.  Michelle has completed 17 years in the MHRA starting as a GCP Inspector, progressing to Senior Inspector and gaining accreditation for GMP inspections of manufacturers of clinical trials, before moving to become a GMDP Operations Manager and ultimately the GMDP Inspectorate Unit Manager.

Michelle brings to EPiC not only the considerable length of service in the MHRA, at both Senior Inspector and senior management level, but also excellent organisational skills, and 19 years previous experience working and auditing in the pharmaceutical industry.  Michelle held positions in Technical and QA roles with various pharmaceutical companies and operated as an IMP Transitional QP prior to joining the MHRA.

Over the years Michelle has engaged extensively with the industry and we are sure this will continue as she works with our clients to help them to improve their GXP quality systems and regulatory compliance.

We are really excited about Michelle joining our team, and acknowledge the skills that she will bring to improving our own quality systems as well as those of our clients.
