Meet Melbec: Chris L
In the latest instalment of our ‘Meet Melbec’ series, we’re excited to revisit one of our dedicated team members, Chris! We previously featured Chris in a past ‘Meet Melbec,’ but since then, he has earned a well-deserved promotion to one of our Team Leaders. With his evolving role and new responsibilities, we thought it was the perfect time to catch up and hear his updated insights on working at Melbec!
How did you come to work at Melbec Microbiology?
After my previous company unexpectedly closed, I searched for jobs but found nothing that felt right until the opportunity at Melbec came up. After applying and interviewing, I knew that it was the company I wanted to be a part of.
What is your daily focus/role at Melbec Microbiology?
As a team leader, my role has evolved to include more responsibilities, especially in the Biocidal and Regulatory departments. While I still spend some time writing reports and booking samples, I now oversee aspects of team development, ensuring high-quality standards in everything we do. No two days are the same, which keeps the work exciting!
What has been your favourite/most exciting project to work on throughout your career?
Melbec has given me the opportunity to work on a range of fascinating projects, particularly in biocides testing. These have challenged me to think creatively and develop new problem-solving approaches, making it difficult to pick just one as my favourite.
What do you love most about working at Melbec Microbiology?
The people, without a doubt. The team’s support and collaboration make all the difference, and the variety in my role means I’m always learning something new. Having the chance to mentor and guide others as a team leader has been incredibly rewarding.
What are you most looking forward to in the future?
I’m excited to further develop my expertise in biocides testing and regulatory compliance while continuing to take on new projects. The prospect of expanding my knowledge and helping the team grow makes the future at Melbec something to look forward to!
