RE: Innova to start manufacturing in Wales25 May 2021 08:31
Oh and this was in the comments on the FT article with link to article in Daily Mail :
Innova’s chief executive has previously told how Northamptonshire-based Disruptive Nanotechnology Ltd were key in helping them beat more established industry giants to secure the first lucrative deal last Summer.
Daniel Elliott said its founder Kimberley Thonger, 62, who had been running the firm from his £375,000 terraced house in Wellingborough, had helped Innova navigate the tricky government bureaucracy.
The company’s last accounts, published in 2019, show it had no reserves and debts of £2,368 – but it is now set to earn a fortune after being chosen as Innova’s sole UK and EU distributor for the rapid tests it sells commercially.
The firm, which is run by former shoe dealer Mr Thonger and former surveyor Charles Palmer, who joined last summer, now operates under the name Tried&Tested.
Commercial prices for one box of 25 tests costs £324.75, according to the Tried&Tested website, which works out at £12.99 per test. This goes down to £6 per unit if 1,000 boxes are bought at once
