This new team will focus on driving sales of Metir's LX, FX and Continuous Toxicity Monitoring ("CTM") product lines and expanding the Group's international distributor network, with a target to more than double its distributor base within the next 12 months. Strengthened technical support will also enable improved customer engagement, increased instrument utilisation and reagent consumption, thereby driving higher recurring revenue.

"We are delighted to welcome Claire to Metir. Her extensive financial and operational expertise will  strengthen the Group's management, control and reporting, as we develop and execute our growth strategy.
