Amici Procurement Solutions Ltd

MyAmici is an intelligent lab operations and biotech procurement-as-a-service platform that unites purchasing, inventory, equipment management, and compliance into one connected system. Founded in 2005 by CEO Caroline Briggs — who left a senior pharma role to build a procurement business designed specifically for science — MyAmici has grown from a shoestring e-procurement system into a 100-strong team supporting over 200 biotech organisations across the UK, Europe, and the United States. Trusted by more than 250 industry leaders, the platform is purpose-built to free scientists from administrative burden and give every stakeholder, from bench to boardroom, real-time visibility and control.

Unlike generic ERP or procurement tools, MyAmici is engineered around the realities of biotech labs — scientific complexity, regulatory rigor, and the need to move fast. Customers gain access to a 65-strong team of scientists-turned-procurement professionals who act as in-house experts without adding permanent headcount, as well as one of the world's largest biotech supplier networks, delivering better pricing, faster turnaround, and measurable savings on every order.

Company Background and Values

• Founded in 2005 by Caroline Briggs, who began with early supplier meetings at her dining table and built the business on drive, trust, and a belief that scientists should spend their time on discovery, not admin.
• Has evolved from a purchasing platform into a full procurement, inventory, and equipment management partner over nearly two decades.
• Core values include being innovative (creating solutions specific to each customer's needs), expert (specialist teams across every stage of biotech purchasing), passionate (many team members are scientists themselves), charismatic (people-first culture), and trusted (viewed by customers as a long-term partner, not just a service provider).
• Leadership team includes Founder and CEO Caroline Briggs, Chief Technology Officer Neil Wilkie, Chief Operating Officer Stuart Mills, Chief Revenue Officer Jon Davidson, Customer Success Director Louise McAteer, and Head of Service Delivery Jennifer Zafar.

MyAmici's combination of purpose-built technology, deep biotech procurement expertise, an extensive supplier network, and rigorous compliance standards makes it a comprehensive lab operations partner for life sciences organisations at every stage of growth — from first-lab start-ups to global enterprises.
