Hamid Syed, UL's Regional Director for the UK, Nordic Countries, Middle East and Africa said: "I am confident that Steve will embrace his new role with the energy and commitment that he demonstrated when he was asked to build our medical regulatory business out of the UL UK office".
" Not only did he make it profitable but he also lead and managed UL's successful application in becoming one of the first organisations to obtain notified body status under Vitro Diagnostic Device Directive 98/79/EC." Buxton's biochemistry background led him to work with companies such as Gist-Brocades and Mercia Diagnostics where he built up a wide range of capabilities.
He has a strong R and D, manufacturing, quality system and commercial development background.
More recently Steve has been involved in developing UL's new enhanced quality management system assessment techniques.
These enhanced assessment techniques will help meet the quality industry's need for more 'value added' assessment services from certification bodies.
This major initiative in a $800m marketplace will clearly differentiate UL from the competition.
Buxton is married with two children and enjoys spending his spare time on the golf course.
