🎄 Supporting Christmas Jumper Day 🎄

Henderson Biomedical was pleased to take part in Christmas Jumper Day in support of Save the Children.

The initiative aligns with our commitment to social responsibility, contributing to efforts that help improve the lives and futures of children in the UK and around the world.

While the jumpers may be seasonal, the impact of supporting organisations such as Save the Children is long-term and meaningful. We’re proud to play our part.

Today, we pause and reflect on the legacy of our founder, Mark Henderson, a man whose vision and dedication laid the foundation for everything Henderson Biomedical stands for today.

Back in 1987, Mark started the company (initially under the name Henderson Associates), operating from his home and offering a simple but powerful idea: to provide dependable service and maintenance for centrifuges from any manufacturer, freeing labs from the hassle of juggling multiple manufacturer-dependent maintenance contracts.

Over the years, he transformed that humble beginning into a trusted, nationwide provider of lab-equipment calibration, repair and sales. The name changed to Henderson Biomedical by 1990, but the core values stayed the same: integrity, expertise and care for our clients.

Though Mark passed away on 27 May 2017 after a courageous battle with illness, his spirit continues to guide our work.

Every centrifuge we service, every calibration we perform, and every piece of equipment we support, they’re all part of the legacy he built and entrusted to us.

On this day, we honour him, for his tenacity, his technical vision, and his belief that lab science should be supported by straightforward, reliable service.

Here’s to you, Mark, thank you for giving us direction, purpose, and a solid foundation.

It has been a hectic few weeks at Henderson Biomedical, the kind where you’re so absorbed in the work that you barely notice the world changing around you. Then suddenly… the lights, the jumpers, the mince pies, it’s starting to look a lot like Christmas.

Busy or not, it’s good to pause, take it in, and appreciate the season taking shape around us. Onwards, and full steam ahead.

We’ve set up a cosy little hot drinks station here at Henderson Biomedical to bring some festive warmth into the workday. A small touch, but a welcome one this time of year.

We hope you’re all managing to sneak in a moment for yourselves too - even if it’s just a quick break with a hot drink in hand. Don’t forget to treat yourself; a warm mug can do more good than you’d think.

Stay warm, stay cheerful, and enjoy the season. 🎄☕️

🌍 World Science Day for Peace and Development - November 10th

Today, we celebrate World Science Day for Peace and Development, a reminder that science is far more than research and discovery, it’s the backbone of progress, equity, and sustainable peace.

At its core, science bridges divides. It empowers communities, strengthens healthcare, improves technology, and guides decision-making through evidence, not ideology. From lab benches to biomedical engineering workshops, every experiment and every calculation contributes to a larger purpose: building a world that thrives on understanding, not uncertainty.

At Henderson Biomedical, we see this every day, precision, innovation, and integrity coming together to advance medical technology and, ultimately, human wellbeing.

As engineers, technicians, and thinkers, we’re not just solving problems; we’re shaping a future where knowledge drives compassion and development walks hand-in-hand with peace.

🔬 Let’s keep pushing boundaries, asking questions, and believing in the power of science to unite us all.

Investing in Our Engineers - Continuous Learning at Henderson Biomedical
At Henderson Biomedical, we believe that technical excellence comes from continuous development. Over the past few days, our engineers took part in a series of in-depth training sessions designed to enhance both their technical expertise and professional awareness.
The first session focused on understanding the importance of ISO 9001 and ISO 17025 accreditations, crucial standards that underpin the quality and reliability of the work we deliver. This was complemented by Health & Safety Awareness Training, ensuring our teams maintain best practices both in our workshop and on client sites.
The second session was delivered by our partners at Vestfrost Solutions, offering a mix of theoretical and hands-on training on their range of fridges and freezers. A special thank you to Thomas Sølbeck Schmidt from Vestfrost Solutions for sharing his expertise and supporting our engineers in gaining deeper product knowledge.
Continuous improvement isn’t just a value at Henderson Biomedical, it’s a daily practice.

Celebrating 35 Years of Excellence at Harris City Academy Crystal Palace 🎉

Yesterday, our colleagues Jenny and Olivia had the pleasure of returning to their old school, Harris City Academy Crystal Palace, to celebrate its remarkable 35-year anniversary.

They enjoyed catching up with former teachers, fellow alumni, and familiar faces, including our long-time friend Lord Harris, who remembered his visit to Henderson Biomedical with great fondness. He sent his well wishes to everyone back at the company and spoke warmly about our continued connection with the school.

It was also an honour for them to meet former Prime Minister Sir John Major, who attended the event to mark the occasion, a testament to the school’s impressive legacy and influence.

Over the years, Henderson Biomedical has proudly welcomed work experience students and team members from Harris City Academy, and several of our management team are also alumni. This enduring relationship continues to shape opportunities for both the school and our business.

Here’s to 35 years of inspiration, education, and community, and to the bright future ahead.
