Outstanding Contribution
Giby George. CEO GMP
Mr Giby George is a visionary and entrepreneur who has strong social and ethical values.
He started his own business in GMP consulting and did exceptionally well creating a £4M revenue business and was a significant employer of skilled and talented Quality leaders in the Phamra and OTC industry.
He then decided to ‘risk it all’ and purchase a failing operation from Seven seas and over time he has created a GMP manufacturing company now with Turnover of in excess of £10M and employing over 100 people.
He is passionate about making the Pharma/OTC industry more dynamic, more versatile and innovative with innovations including 3d printing of pharma products, making E45 and Hand sanitiser products and creating robust employment opportunities in the UK and especially in Hull where they are very much needed.
He is a true entrepreneur, driving and taking risks to help the UK manufacturing industry.
I [Bart Derde] have worked in Unilever, Reckitt, GSK and was on the executive team at Haleon/GSK and have had the pleasure to meet many talented people. Giby is one of the few people who truly inspires others and has a real passion and ability to manage the detail and see through adversity. A truly deserving winner.
Passion is a GMP core value and this is one he champions most strongly and this is reflective of him.
