Eaton Smith Solicitors is delighted to announce that LFH Regulatory Limited, a leading consultancy firm specialising in regulatory compliance for the pharmaceutical and life sciences sectors, has been awarded our Business of the Month Award. This award, which recognises outstanding businesses in the community, was awarded to LFH Regulatory for its excellence in service, innovative approach to regulatory consulting, and significant contributions to its industry.
Founded by Huddersfield-based Laura Friedl-Hirst, LFH Regulatory began as a one-woman operation in June 2019. Since then, the company has experienced significant growth, expanding to a robust team of eight. They are also in the process of recruiting an additional team member by the end of the year to further support their growing client base.
LFH Regulatory operates within the complex and highly regulated global medical device industry, specialising in guiding clients through the intricate landscape of medical devices and in vitro diagnostic regulation. Their mission is to make the process of regulation and compliance as straightforward and stress-free as possible.
Laura Friedl-Hirst, managing director of LFH Regulatory Limited, commented on the award: “Winning Eaton Smith’s Business of the Month Award during our 5th anniversary year is an incredible honour and a testament to our commitment to making regulation simple for our clients. We’re thrilled to be recognised for our dedication to quality and innovation in the life sciences sector, where supporting businesses through complex regulatory landscapes is our passion. Thank you to Eaton Smith for this recognition – we look forward to continuing to grow and make a positive difference."
Eaton Smith’s Business of the Month Award celebrates companies that demonstrate excellence in various areas, including innovation, community involvement, and strong leadership. As the September winner, LFH Regulatory Limited is automatically shortlisted for the Business of the Year Award, which will be announced at a special ceremony in June 2025.
