Health Secretary Matt Hancock publicly thanks Randox for ‘stepping up to the mark’

On 23 April 2020, UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock personally thanked staff at Randox for the work we have done and continue to do, during the daily coronavirus briefing from Downing Street.

He said;

“I want to take this moment to applaud the private companies who have been involved…Boots, Amazon, Thermo Fisher, Randox, Rosch, Oxford Nanopore, GSK and Astrazeneca. They have really stepped up to the mark and I am grateful for each and every one.”

It is Randox’s priority to ensure that we contribute to the global effort to fight COVID-19, by testing at scale. We are therefore absolutely committed to the government testing scheme, which is focusing on key workers and the maintenance of critical national infrastructure – including that of the NHS.

In order to meet the requirements of this scheme, we have undertaken considerable reorganisation within the company by redeploying personnel – often to newly formed departments and newly formed teams.  Everyone at Randox has a critical role to play in the practical application of COVID-19 testing and we appreciate all the hard work, patience, and flexibility of our staff.

Our work has greatly expanded the capacity for testing in the UK and we will continue to ramp up our capabilities, to both save lives and promote a timely return to a more normal society.

What we are doing is making a real and positive difference.
