We’re proud to announce that Q1 Scientific has been recognised with two major awards at this year’s Pharma Industry Awards, taking home two prestigious titles.

• Operational Excellence – Small
• Women in Pharma Award – Small – Aideen Glynn, Quality Manager

The Pharma Industry Awards celebrate excellence across the pharmaceutical and life sciences sector in Ireland, recognising companies that demonstrate outstanding performance, innovation, and contribution to the industry.

Winning not one, but two awards at this year’s ceremony is an acknowledgement of not only our commitment to operational and quality excellence but also the incredible leadership within our team.

Operational Excellence – Small

This award recognises our commitment to delivering best-in-class stability storage services with precision and reliability. For those managing stability studies, operational excellence isn’t just a buzzword, it’s the foundation that ensures samples are stored under the exact conditions required for accurate, compliant results.

At Q1 Scientific, we continuously refine our processes to minimise risk, optimise workflows, and maintain full regulatory compliance. From validated storage environments to robust monitoring systems, every detail is designed to support stability programs and give customers confidence in their data.

Operational excellence is at the heart of everything we do. This award reflects the measurable improvements we’ve made to enhance efficiency, compliance, and customer experience. Over the past 18 months, we have:

• Achieved 100% pull accuracy and zero missed timepoints, ensuring uninterrupted regulatory timelines.
• Increased storage capacity by 33% without expanding floor space, thanks to lean principles and innovative layout design.
• Upgraded our proprietary Electronic Sample Tracking System (ESTS).

Women in Pharma Award – Small – Aideen Glynn

Our Quality Manager, Aideen Glynn, was honoured with the Women in Pharma award for her outstanding leadership and dedication to quality. Aideen plays a pivotal role in ensuring that every stability chamber, process, and protocol meets the highest standards. Her expertise helps safeguard the integrity of samples and ensures that Q1 Scientific remains a trusted partner for pharmaceutical and biotech companies worldwide. This accolade celebrates Aideen’s leadership, expertise, and dedication to driving quality standards that make a real difference for our customers and the industry.

Commenting on her win, Aideen says:

“Quality is at the heart of everything we do at Q1 Scientific. Stability studies are critical for product development, and my focus has always been on building robust systems that give our customers complete confidence in their data. This award is a reflection of the incredible teamwork and commitment to excellence across our organization.”

Aideen’s philosophy is simple:

“Quality isn’t just a standard, it’s a mindset. Whether mentoring a colleague, preparing for a regulatory audit, or helping launch a new site, I lead with integrity, empathy, and the belief that excellence is built one decision at a time.”

Also shortlisted for two other categories

In addition to these wins, Q1 Scientific was proud to be shortlisted in two other categories:

• Pharma Contract Services Company of the Year – Recognising our role as a trusted partner delivering outsourced stability storage solutions that meet global regulatory standards.

“Winning two Pharma Industry Awards is a fantastic recognition of the work our team does every day. Our customers trust us with critical stability studies, and these awards reflect our focus on quality, reliability, and delivering an exceptional customer experience.”

Why winning at the Pharma Industry Awards matters for stability studies

Winning these awards isn’t just a recognition of our team, it’s a reflection of the standards we uphold for our customers. Stability studies are critical to product development and regulatory approval, and we know the importance of accuracy, reliability, and compliance in every step of the process.

Our focus on operational excellence means:

• Validated ICH and non-ICH storage conditions
• Continuous monitoring and alert systems to protect your samples
• Streamlined processes that reduce complexity and save time

Our operational and quality excellence ensures that stability studies run smoothly, data remains reliable, and regulatory submissions stay on track.

These achievements highlight the passion and hard work of our entire team and reinforce our mission to set the benchmark for stability storage services globally.
