About us & Locations
The company was established in 1989 as an independent enterprise paying rental for facilities within the University of Bristol, England, whilst undertaking contract work. In 1994, i2LResearch Ltd moved to Cardiff as a Limited company and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Cardiff University. The company experienced strong growth in its product development and testing unit and decided in 2000 to concentrate its efforts in this area.
In February 2001, Cardiff University agreed to reduce its share-holding in the company as part of a management buyout by the Directors and staff of the company. Assistance in this process was given by the Wales Spin-Out Programme. The company relocated to a new, purpose built facility at the end of February 2001.
Since spin-out i2LResearch Ltd has greatly expanded the range of services. offered and will continue to refine, expand, adapt, and develop in to new areas. It is our aim to deliver to the highest possible standard.
In March 2005 the company established a new branch office in Newcastle upon Tyne, directed by Dr Catherine Whaley. The new office gave i2LResearch Ltd a two-site UK field trials capability and was an instant success. i2LNorthEast is expected to show strong growth in the coming few years.
In 2007 i2LResearch Ltd embarked on a significant upgrade to its facility with Welsh Assembly Government assistance, and its North East office occupied and refitted new offices and laboratories.
In 2008, i2LResearch Ltd established a branch in the Czech Republic, i2L-East, as part of its on-going collaboration with the University of South Bohemia. The new office, managed by Mr Pavel Foltan, allows the company to carry out a number of value added trials, for example on head-lice, fleas, and molluscs.
In 2010 the Company became OECD GLP Compliant for efficacy studies, and also opened a new branch office, i2L-South, in Girona, Spain. i2L-South expands our capabilities into the important Mediterranean area, and has recently carried out a range of field studies including Aedes albopictus, Argentine ants, Molluscs, and Cockroaches.
