Validation Without Compromise
Senior Technical Consultant for Pharmaceutical, Biotech, Medical Device, Chemical and Nuclear Industries
When a regulatory inspection is imminent, a project is behind schedule, or your validation documentation won’t withstand scrutiny — you need someone who has seen it all before and knows exactly what to do.
I’m David Boardman, an independent technical consultant with a B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering and over 35 years of experience delivering validation, qualification and project engineering in the world’s most demanding regulated environments. I work directly with your team — on-site, embedded, or remotely — and I hit the ground running.
Trusted by leading organisations including GSK · Pfizer · AstraZeneca · MSD · Johnson & Johnson
