The specialist partner for Life Sciences recruitment
Strydon recruits across Manufacturing, Quality & Compliance, Medical Communications and Clinical for pharmaceutical, biotechnology and CDMO organisations in the UK, Europe and the United States. We invest time upfront to understand each client's business, requirements and competitive market before beginning a search.
4 disciplines across Life Sciences.
3 markets served across the UK, Europe and the US.
Our Mission
We believe specialist hiring helps medicines reach patients. Clinical programmes advance, evidence is communicated, quality is protected and products are manufactured by the people behind them.
Our ambition is to become the first-choice specialist Life Sciences recruitment partner across the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and CDMO sectors in the UK, Europe and the United States.
Core Values
The principles that guide every search we run, from first briefing to onboarding.
Strategy
A structured approach that aligns every hire with your long-term business goals, not just the open vacancy.
Transparency
Clear communication and honest market insight at every stage of the search, including the things you may not want to hear.
Reliability
Consistent delivery and follow-through on commitments, assignment after assignment.
Partnership
Long-term relationships with clients and candidates, built on market knowledge rather than transactional placements.

Founder & Managing Director
Leadership
Built on first-hand business experience.
Through Strydon, I work personally with clients across the Life Sciences sector, building a genuine understanding of their business, projects and the people they need.
I stay close to every search from the initial brief through to delivery. Clients deal directly with me throughout, receiving clear communication, honest feedback and complete accountability for the outcome.
My focus is simple: to provide a high-quality, personal service and become someone clients can genuinely rely on when they need to hire.
