I have worked with Urvish for several months and have been impressed with his integrity and constant drive to improve working practices for both the company and his team. He leads by example and continues to develop his already strong leadership ability. I would highly recommend Urvish for further leadership opportunities and have thoroughly enjoyed working with him.

Urvish Pandya, during his post-doc fellowship with us, provided a huge amount of work on a long and difficult project and demonstrated both his creativity and fortitude.

Pierre-Yves Chavant (Ex colleague) : Researcher-in-charge, CNRS, Grenoble, France

I have worked with Urvish for over 3 years, and he has always demonstrated himself as a talented chemist with strong theoretical and practical abilities. Urvish is always keen to get to the root of the problem before using his knowledge and experience to provide a practical solution. He is a pleasure to work with and has been hugely influential throughout his time at Plaxica. His planning and management style has been instrumental in meeting our tight R&D deadlines.

David Gibney (Ex Colleague) : Senior Process Engineer

Urvish led a team of scientists at Plaxica – together they delivered substantial technology breakthroughs. This was dueto both Urvish’s natural innovation mind-set and technical excellence, but also his leadership of the wider team. His contribution to Plaxica is appreciated greatly.

Philip Goodier (Ex Colleague) : Ex VP Biorefining at Sappi and Ex CEO Plaxica

I have known Urvish for more than three years and had the opportunity to interact with him on a daily basis ever since. In his current role, he is leading a team of talented chemists and is providing very valuable contributions to the project. Urvish has always been very diligent and committed to progress the project through its challenges and he showed high levels of creativity and dedication. Finally, Urvish has very good communication skills and as a client I personally appreciated the very honest and fruitful discussions we had over the years.

Delphine Launay (Ex Customer) : Pharmaceutical Development Leader, DNDi

Urvish is a dedicated and knowledgeable scientist. He is a great colleague who uses his extensive experience to find customer solutions. Both customers and colleagues find him very helpful, and he always makes himself available to support on any new or existing projects.

Jon Reed (Ex-Colleague) : Business Director Recipharm

As a consultant who has experienced Urvish’s breadth of knowledge of scale-up issues over the past 4 years, I can thoroughly recommend him as a chemical consultant. The expertise he demonstrated during route troubleshooting, process risk assessment exercises and the scale-up of processes into kilo-lab and pilot plant equipment would make him a valuable asset to any biotech company seeking experienced guidance in their candidate development programme.

Mike Williams (Ex Customer) : Independent CMC consultant and Ex-Executive Director at Pfizer’s Chemical R&D.

Urvish is an extremely talented chemist and respected manager and business contact. Hard working, conscientious and adaptable with a wide understanding and experience of the pharmaceutical industry from innovative R&D through to clinical and commercial manufacture. Urvish is a necessary and welcomed addition to any manufacturing site.

Wendy Whitfield (Ex colleague) : Head of Regulatory Affairs – Recipharm Development Services

I worked closely with Urvish in a CDMO/client consultant relationship. Urvish was responsible within the CDMO for the development of the chemical process to a novel API, taking the project from early development to Phase III. I have found Urvish to have strong customer focus skills and he was always responsive to client requests. He maintained a positive focus even when the project hit unforeseen issues and undertook to deal with issues and respond to client requests in a professional and courteous manner.
