A skills injection for the pharmaceuticals team
Pharma-engineering team members gain valuable ‘hands-on’ experience at a major drugs production facility.
Four members of Quanta’s pharma-engineering recruitment team recently traded their office suits for lab coats as they undertook a tour of a major drugs production facility, organised as part of the company’s ongoing staff training and development programme.
The tour took them through the sterile production area and covered the full production lifecycle including filling lines, autoclaves and packaging machines where they viewed how vials were filled and ultimately packaged.

Said Stephen Trigg, CEO of Quanta, “Within the recruitment consultancy world, specialist market sector jargon and terminology abound everywhere. The vast majority of recruitment consultants have a reasonable grasp of the terminology and the jargon, but only in a theoretical sense. They have not seen how it all works in a practical sense and are at a disadvantage when endeavoring to qualify a vacancy or a candidate.”
Quanta have worked to bridge this gap by ensuring that all recruiting teams have an opportunity to gain practical experience from right inside their clients’ businesses. In so doing, they enhance their knowledge and ability to liaise with experienced candidates within niche markets.
The Quanta training and development programme was first established in 2006 as part of its ongoing initiatives to improve internal staff skills and market knowledge.
