Medilink Award win for Outstanding Achievement
Manchester, UK - 14 February 2020: Yourgene (AIM: YGEN), a leading international molecular diagnostics group, announces it has won the Outstanding Achievement Award at the Medilink North of England Healthcare Business Awards 2020, held at the Lowry Hotel in Manchester, yesterday.
The Outstanding Achievement Award is presented to a Company for an achievement that has had a significant or vital impact on the business. Yourgene was awarded it for its acquisition of Elucigene Diagnostics, a Manchester-based molecular diagnostics manufacturer and developer, which it completed in April 2019. The complementary acquisition strengthened the Company's position in the prenatal testing pathway and the teams have now fully integrated at its HQ situated at Citylabs 1.0.
The Medilink North of England Healthcare Business Award brings together leaders in the North of England to recognise companies and their teams for the achievements in the year and gain recognition deserved for improving patient care.
Lyn Rees, CEO of Yourgene, commented: "We are honoured to receive the Outstanding Achievement Award at the prestigious Medilink Healthcare Business Awards, recognising the significant step change for Yourgene that the Elucigene acquisition brings, and the strong platform we now have as an enlarged group to deliver future growth."
