"Not only did he make it profitable but he also lead and managed UL's successful application in becoming one of the first organisations to obtain notified body status under Vitro Diagnostic Device Directive 98/79/EC".
Buxton's biochemistry background led him to work with companies such as Gist-Brocades and Mercia Diagnostics where he built up a wide range of capabilities.
He has a strong R and D, manufacturing, quality system and commercial development background, says UL.
More recently Buxton has been involved in developing UL's new enhanced quality management system assessment techniques.
These enhanced assessment techniques will help meet the quality industry's need for more value-added assessment services from certification bodies.
