Letter From The CEO
As one of the original founders of the organisation, Jonathan Lutwyche continues to provide strategic vision and leadership in his role as CEO of Yordas Group.
Welcome to Yordas Group!
Yordas provides consulting services and solutions. We are thought-leaders and innovators across a wide-range of specialties: scientific, global regulatory, sustainability and product stewardship. We have a solid and internationally recognised reputation as a provider of training, advice and services to ensure compliance across the globe. We can help you to transform for the future – now.
Yordas was founded in 2007 as a response to the changing regulatory landscape. We recognised there was an urgent need to help industry meet their chemicals management and compliance needs. Since then, we’ve grown rapidly and developed capacity in a wealth of scientific and regulatory disciplines.
The culture of Yordas is rooted in science, hence our strapline, ‘Business through Science’, but we are much more than this. We view ourselves as a bridge that enables you to work across global boundaries and with multiple stakeholders. We help you get your product to market, and remain on the market.
The 2000s have been called ‘the age of regulation’, and it’s true that chemical regulation is proliferating globally. We see this not as a limitation on business, but as an opportunity. We are inspired by a vision to do better. We want to help you ensure that your product is not just compliant, but also environmentally sustainable and safe for use.
Yordas’ people are always learning and constantly curious. We are driven to think differently and deliver innovative solutions. Our depth of expertise across a broad range of fields ensures that our services and knowledge are second-to-none. We are a team of proactive, positive people who live our corporate values. We have earned the trust and respect of our clients for a simple reason – we care.
– Jonathan Lutwyche
From The REACH Centre and Chemtrac to Yordas Group and Yordas Hive
Originally founded as ‘The REACH Centre’ in 2007, the company was set up to meet the needs of industry to comply with the EU REACH Regulation. From its inception, substantial re-investment allowed the business to rapidly expand and develop capacity in a wealth of new scientific and regulatory disciplines.
Yordas Hive (formerly Chemtrac), our globally renowned on-line product stewardship management system was introduced in 2011. In order to reflect the increasingly diverse nature of our business and research activities, the Company was re-branded as ‘Yordas Group’ in 2017.
