The company specialises in bioanalytical and biosample project management, biomarker strategy and logistics solutions supporting pre-clinical and clinical trials.

A4P has core expertise in regulated bioanalysis and genomics, personalised healthcare, biosample operations, biomarker strategy and bespoke logistics solutions, serving clients across a wide range of therapeutics areas.
Ian James, PhD, co-founder and chief executive of A4P, commented: "A4P was founded over 12 years ago by four individuals from the pharma industry with a vision of how bioanalytical and logistical consultancy could be transformed.”
"Bringing together our unique company model with LabConnect unlocks exciting opportunities to broaden the geographies we operate in and enhance our service offerings for our customers."
"I am excited for the future for both our customers and our valued staff, and grateful to the team at Kreston Reeves for bringing their experience and insights to get this deal across the line."
LabConnect provides scientific and technical expertise for research, serving all laboratory-related needs. The firm partners with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, contract research organisations (CROs), and NGOs, providing Central Laboratory Services and scientific Functional Service Provider (FSP) Solutions for clinical trials worldwide.
The acquisition of A4P solidifies the company’s industry-leading position as a global provider of Central Laboratory Services and scientific-focused FSP Solutions.
