To us
it’s personal
“ESPL is a team that oscillates together at the same wavelength – they are amazingly supportive”. Helen Erwood, Chairman
ESPL Regulatory Consulting started in 2000 when Dr Helen Erwood, a senior Regulatory Affairs professional, with previous experience of a number of large pharmaceutical companies, decided to offer her expertise to a wider audience by building on the business which was initially founded in 1996. Initially it was just Helen, but the company has grown and now employs a permanent team of regulatory professionals, as well as working with other experts as needed to support specific projects.
The main offices of ESPL are located at Lunna House in the idyllic north-eastern corner of the mainland island of Shetland. There is a second office in Glasgow and an array of remote staff across the UK and Europe.

Employee
Ownership
In April of 2019 the company became employee owned under the leadership of Jason Collins and Chris Erwood with Helen continuing as Chairman and in a consulting role. Employee ownership means that all members of the team input into, and benefit from, the success of the company, working together to deliver results and make the company better, whilst maintaining our ethos of a friendly and happy environment with a good work-life balance. The team will continue to provide support across a wide variety of projects and therapeutic areas, and use their experience and cohesiveness to support our clients effectively and efficiently.
