About Us | Paul Palmer Pharmaceutical Consultancy

My profile and work experience

As a Pharmaceutical consultant, I formed my own business in 2011; within less than a year grew from zero to a 6 figure income.

Diversification into multiple fields and investing in property has given me opportunities to choose my future instead of it being chosen for me.

Primary goal to have a variety of roles which ensure I am always fresh and interested in what I am doing both professionally and personally.

Residual income to match what was my salary is becoming a reality. I am focused and driven to achieve, anyone who joins me has the opportunity to fulfill their dreams.

I am an experienced Proactive Manager, with a proven track record of achievement within Pharmaceutical & Medical Device Environments including; solid dosage, liquids, creams and dressings, in both sterile and non-sterile forms.

Experience of quality assurance, regulatory affairs, GxP, new product introduction, commercial supply, investigational medicinal products, supplier & customer liaison, aseptic filling, steam, gamma and ethylene oxide sterilisation, auditing, validation, process improvements and profitability initiatives.

Enjoy optimising Quality Management Systems and employing appropriate GxP strategies.
