At Eakin Healthcare, we put our patient at the heart of everything we do.
Fifty years ago, it all started with one man’s mission: pharmacist Tom George Eakin. He saw his patients struggling with leaking urostomy pouches and decided enough was enough. He got to work and formulated what would become the game-changing eakin Cohesive® seal.
Fast forward to today, and we’re still keeping it in the family. We’ve grown a lot since then—both organically and through acquisitions. We now have a team of over 700 colleagues across three manufacturing sites and 12 sales and distribution centres. We’re making a difference in three therapeutic areas:
- Ostomy
- Respiratory
- Surgical
We’re proud to export our innovative products to over 60 countries through a network of 40 distributors plus our own offices in Japan, The Netherlands, France, Germany, Belgium, and Luxembourg.
We’re good at what we do – come and join us and benefit from:
- Blended Working
- Free on-site car parking
- Bonus
- 25 days holiday plus bank holidays (rising to 28)
- Option to buy holiday days
- Wellbeing Programme
