Contract development and manufacturing organisation Aesica has appointed Catherine Dick to the role of site manufacturing manager.

She will take responsibility for ensuring that all manufacturing scheduling at its Cramlington, UK site is kept on track for its products.

Dick brings strong experience and knowledge of operations at Cramlington, having joined Aesica back in 2007 as the site’s quality manager. In 2010, she was promoted to head of quality for UK API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients), across both the Cramlington and the Queenborough API manufacturing sites.

Mark Dawson will now take the helm as head of Quality at the Cramlington facility. With over 25 years’ experience in the API industry, Dawson has held various roles at the site within the quality control, EH&S and warehousing departments. 

In his most recent role, he spent 13 years as part of the production management team responsible for the day-to-day running of the process plants on the Cramlington site.

The company is also set to recruit three new chemists, a site engineering manager and an analytical technology officer.

Steve Barker, operations director at Aesica said: “Catherine possesses strong expertise and a solid knowledge of implementing work on multiple, quality APIs. The acumen she brings to the role coupled with the collective quality measures we are taking will ensure the company operates to the most rigorous, cost-effective and timely manufacturing processes.”
