I am loving my time at Alpha Laboratories and I have never felt so valued as an employee in all my 30+ years in a commercial role. The Board has created a very special company and I am proud to be part of it.

During my first 4 weeks here the time that has been invested in me has been amazing. The inductions were all delivered in a way that I could absorb knowledge and I can tell everyone is passionate about their products.
