Formumetrics
Formumetrics Ltd. was founded in 2011 by previous employees of The Bristol Colloid Centre (BCC), a well-renowned scientific consultancy group with dedicated laboratory facilities and staff at the University of Bristol. All of the Formumetrics scientific team are previous members of the BCC and have technological excellence in colloid and surface science, based on years of experience, which is already held in regard with leading companies in the target sectors.
During its lifetime, the BCC had accumulated an active client list of more than 500 companies worldwide. Colloid science is a cross cutting discipline which is implicit in a vast array of products which is substantiated by the astonishing range of programs that the BCC had undertaken. The BCC collaborated across an impressive range of market sectors, some of which include; pharmaceutical, personal care, household goods, oil products and exploration, engineering, cements and food and flavourings.
The BCC was set up in 1993 for two main reasons. The first reason being that it would provide a direct benefit to the Chemistry department at the University of Bristol and the second reason being that there was a genuine desire to be able to aid the UK manufacturing industry with their colloid problems. At that time, the normal academic routes for research were through postdoctoral workers or Ph.D. students, but for many industries these were not appropriate either in speed of response or cost.
activities comprised primarily of the design and development of a set of training courses for industrialists in specialist colloid science subjects, and the production of an “Awareness Forum”. The latter had the intention of bringing together suppliers and formulators in a variety of industries to exchange scientific and technical knowledge.
work. These research programmes were conducted in a similar manner to the academic routes, where work was completed through student projects and EPSRC funding. There was one main difference however, the main intention was to work closely with the member companies for the duration of the work in order to ensure that their expectations were met and to provide ideas by which they could profit.
