Michael Quin – ‘Working with life saving drugs’

My 3 Personal takeaways from this great episode with Michael Quin, Head of Cell Culture Manufacturing at FujiFilm

• The Importance of understanding and promoting company goals 
• How crucial the purpose of a company is
• The significance of emotional intelligence in business

I recently walked round the incredible office space at Fujifilm and was amazed by their facilities

Michael been in the business for over 20 years and I was fascinated in the both the journey he has had, and the way the business has changed over time.

As they embark on a brand new facility in their Teesside branch, it was a great opportunity to see how they have done so well over the years!
