QCS Staffing establish Covid-19 Response Team
In these unprecedented times, we would like to offer our
sincere thanks to all the key workers who are putting themselves at risk to
protect others, whether this is NHS staff, emergency services or those keeping
the essential supply chains operating. We hope all our colleagues, clients,
friends, and partners within the Life Sciences, Data Centre/IT and Renewable
Energies sectors are staying safe in these difficult times.
Since 2002, QCS Staffing have been partnering with the Life Sciences sector and providing staffing services within the biopharmaceutical, pharmaceutical and medical device industries. As the world responds to the outbreak of Covid-19, we are proud to have created a response team in order to support organisations in staffing skilled workforces to help in the research, development, manufacture and logistics of vaccines, diagnostics, plasma, ventilators, and medical gases in order to help fight the Coronavirus pandemic.
QCS Staffing’s Director and Executive Sponsor for the project David
Broome says, “for
over 18 years QCS Staffing have been proud to partner many of the largest and
innovative vaccine manufacturers and medical device companies in the world.
We are currently supporting projects across the globe in a joint effort
to overcome the challenge the world faces today. I could not be prouder
of the work all my colleagues are putting in daily to support our clients &
candidates and my respect to all those who are contributing towards this global
effort to overcome the Covid-19 pandemic.”
The urgent demand for ventilators, medical gases and diagnostic products has become
apparent in the recent weeks as hospital supplies are running drastically low
and the race begins for top pharmaceutical companies to produce a vaccine.
We have proven staffing experience in supporting similar critical
projects. In 2009, we assembled a Rapid Response Team to support Novartis Vaccines in their development
of a vaccine to fight the H1N1
swine flu outbreak. As a result, we delivered 51 Consultants to Novartis’s manufacturing sites
in the UK, US, Germany and Italy in a 6 month period. This staffing support helped enable them to globally
develop and manufacture 3 (A)H1N1 vaccines that were distributed worldwide.
With over 18 years’ experience providing skilled freelance
consultants to global organisations within the life sciences sector, we have a
passion to make a difference and are determined to contribute to help fight the current global pandemic. We can deliver
different disciplines within pharmacovigilance; drug safety; medical writing;
regulatory (CMC); engineering; manufacturing, science and technology (MS&T);
programme and project management; validation; and quality.
Spencer Trigg,
Director at QCS Staffing and Programme Director says; “there are very few
occasions in history where everyone comes together to reach a global common
goal, when there is a worldwide common purpose. We are today living through
one of these events and creating history together to beat the COVID-19
pandemic. It’s amazing to see global competitors in vaccine manufacturing
join forces with an aim to develop the best vaccines utilising adjuvant
technology and biopharmaceutical manufacturing platforms. At QCS Staffing we
are a staffing firm who are humbled by the efforts of all our contractors and
clients working in the design, development and manufacture of diagnostics,
ventilators and vaccines. To know we are
part of the supply chain and my colleagues’ work are making a difference makes
me enormously proud. It’s phenomenal to
see the human sacrifice around the world from front line and key workers… you
are all Super Heroes!”
As a trusted supplier to the Life Science industry, we would
like to offer our support and staffing services to any organisation that needs
to increase its contract or permanent full time workforce to help tackle the
COVID-19 pandemic.
