Michael Wort

Having trained as a microbiologist, Mike brings over 40 years’ experience working with life science companies across the healthcare sector. Initially working with three of the top ten global pharmaceutical companies in a variety of sales, marketing and research positions, he was appointed Investor Relations Manager of Wellcome Plc and was actively involved in the global communications programme for the major £2.4 billion secondary offering of Wellcome Plc shares by the Wellcome Trust, which enabled him to develop working relationships with key figures in the life sciences industry.

After leaving Wellcome, Mike was a founding partner in the first specialist communications agency in the UK, for the emerging biotechnology industry. Apart from a diversion caused by his involvement as the CEO during the privatisation of the Bulgarian pharmaceutical industry his career has been devoted to working with start-up and growing SMEs to maximise their potential for growth.
