Dr Helen Steele - REACH & Regulatory Team Leader

Helen obtained her degree in Applied Microbiology in 1992 and her PhD in plant-microbe symbiosis in 1996 from Queen's University, Belfast.  She then spent eleven years in Germany doing full time post-doctoral research in the Cell Biology and Applied Botany Department of Philipp's University Marburg followed by research in the Biofilm Centre of the University of Duisberg-Essen and lecturing in Environmental Microbiology.  In 2007 she returned to the UK and worked in a biocide company where she worked on their US-EPA compliance and brought them through the REACH pre-registration process.  In the last three years she has worked for a group of chemical companies trading in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and performance chemicals where she managed their compliance with REACH, GLP and BPD. 

Helen joined Intertek MSG in April 2012 and aims to continue the high quality of REACH management and registration work carried out by the Intertek MSG regulatory team.  She is particularly interested in developing and expanding the regulatory activities through identifying key regulatory areas and effectively marketing Intertek MSG's competence to provide tailored regulatory support to chemical industries and retailers.
