Claire Wallace

UK Sales Manager

I've worked with Invitrogen for 14 years and I've enjoyed every minute. I've an Honours Degree in Applied Biology and worked in the NHS in Quality Control, then moved here as a Senior Scientist in the company's QC labs. I progressed to QC Manager. For 5 years, I enjoyed the role.

Then I was approached for a sales role within the Bioproduction Sale Team as UK Account Manager. Within 2 years, I progressed to Senior Account Manager- despite two baby breaks along the way. In February, I was promoted to UK Sales Manager within the company's research arm.

I've a team of 7 people and it's my job to keep them focused, driven and happy. Invitrogen is a very successful company and this is demanding so I love it when members of my team are successful, recognised and rewarded.

More than ever, the company focuses on staff training and development. In Sales, new staff spends their first 6 weeks training before they speak to a customer. We invest in our people and training is continuous.
