Cornish medical business planning expansion following move into new head office

A Cornish medical equipment  and supply company has moved to a new office as part of its long term expansion plans.

Certus Biomedical, which is based in Truro, has moved to a new business unit in Indian Queens.

The company is planning to double its workforce over the next 12 months to just under 40 people.

Certus was founded in 2021 and was originally based in the Health and Wellbeing Innovation Centre.

The company has trebled its headcount in less than two years and has recently expanded into the public health sector.

The new unit includes a state-of-the-art purpose-built anaesthetic vaporiser service centre.

Certus’ fleet of engineers offer services, repairs, and bespoke installations for public health and veterinary practices across the UK.

Managing director Joe Butcher said: “Following a big contract win in 2022, we have accelerated our growth to what it is today – a team of 18 engineers working across a variety of specialised industries.

“Moving premises is an important milestone in our business life, which we wouldn’t have got to without the support of Cornwall Innovation.

“The business level support and flexibility we received has allowed us to step up to the next stage of our growth, at the right time for our business.”

Matt Harrington, head of Cornwall Innovation said: “Cornwall is a hub of business knowledge, and with highly trained individuals, such as the team at Certus, it’s important for us to harness this talent within the county.

“Certus Biomedical is a Cornwall Innovation success story. Joe and the team have grown from strength-to-strength, and we’re so proud of what they’ve achieved. We wish the team at Certus the best of luck in their new unit.”
