How the company was set up

Dianthus Medical Limited was established in 1999 by Dr Adam Jacobs, who has over 14 years experience working in the medical writing industry. Initially, Adam worked by himself, but as his list of satisfied clients grew he started recruiting other staff to help meet the demand, taking on the first in 2001. The company has continued to grow gradually since then, and there are now 10 of us. See staff profiles for more details of the current team.

It is our philosophy to grow the company slowly, ensuring that any expansion is sustainable and does not impact on the stability or the personal touch that our customers have come to rely on.
