Specialist Liverpool manufacturer in the pharmaceutical industry is set to feature in a TV show exploring its role in helping to bring the first COVID-19 vaccine to market. 

Speke-based ChargePoint Technology features in the programme “How Vaccines Are Changing The World” alongside key pharmaceutical industry figures to explore how the roll out of COVID-19 vaccines has made vaccinations a hot topic for debate.

The show will be presented by renowned news anchor and journalist, Louise Minchin, and will be exclusively broadcasted on the New Scientist platform (in partnership with ITN production industry news) from 25th April. The programme features key industry interviews and news-style reports along with sponsored editorial profiles

Chris Eccles, CEO of ChargePoint Technology, reflected on the last two years: “The pandemic meant that the world changed in ways that no one could have predicted. At ChargePoint Technology, we supported our pharmaceutical customers in challenging times, ensuring they had the equipment they needed to maintain and scale the production of vital medicines and vaccines.  

“We were on hand to help bring some of the first vaccines to market and worked around the clock to deliver vital manufacturing components in record time to enable the manufacture of the vaccines. A customised version of our single-use transfer technology was designed and manufactured in just 3 days, despite the challenges of maintaining operations during the pandemic and associated supply chain issues. 

“We’re so excited to showcase a little bit of what we do in the programme and to show how we are continuing to thrive as a business.” 

ChargePoint Technology’s multi-million-pound facility in Speke has highly skilled teams and machinery that create precision containment valves and single-use transfer technology that are essential for the safe transfer of powders during pharmaceutical manufacturing.

ChargePoint Technology has grown its business by 20% in the last year and is continuing to expand with offices now in the US and Eastern Europe. If you’re looking for a new career in Merseyside in a fast-growing company, find out more information here
