hex-icon Building Certainty, One Partnership at a Time

At Broughton, we measure success by the trust our clients place in us. As a global CRO, we work as an extension of our clients’ teams, delivering integrated analytical, scientific, and regulatory services that bring clarity and build certainty across pharmaceutical, healthcare, and lifestyle markets.

“Broughton provides an outstanding GMP testing service for our finished medicinal cannabis products destined for the UK market. We specifically sought a UK-based lab with a strong track record in GMP compliance and Broughton has delivered. Their onboarding process was smooth, their communication clear, and their batch release service now scales effortlessly with our growth. The team culture is excellent, and I’d highly recommend them to anyone in this space."
“As we expanded our medicinal cannabis supply chain across multiple countries, trust and consistency in flower quality testing became critical. Broughton’s GMP-licensed lab and harmonised testing methods gave us the benchmark we needed, regardless of cultivation origin. Their support has been instrumental in de-risking our quality system for global trade and ensuring regulatory readiness across markets."
“Validating the shelf life of our cannabis-based formulations across multiple packaging formats and storage conditions was critical to our product development timeline. Broughton's GMP-inspected, ICH-compliant stability testing services delivered exceptional results that exceeded our expectations. Their rigorous approach enabled us to avoid costly reformulation delays while establishing robust product integrity data that gives both our team and patients complete confidence in our therapeutic products.”
