As we close out 2025, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the year behind us and share our ambitions for the year ahead. Read this blog post to learn more about our highlights as a business, and our goals for 2026.
2025 was a strong year for sales activity, customer engagement and business improvements. Highlights include:
-
Sales campaigns were launched, including Otect gloves by Polyco, Isofield Volta and Micronova Sterile Liners.
-
A new CES record for number of orders received.
-
Installation of EV charging at our HQ and purchasing of an all-electric fleet to support our sustainability goals.
-
New and improved branding across our sites and social channels.
- Became Tier One distributors for Eriks.
- Became a supplier on the NHS NOE CPC framework.
CES also launched its new mission statement in 2025:
“Your Cleanroom. Our Mission.”
This statement reflects our commitment to partnership, service excellence, and sector expertise.
Investment in people remains a priority. Throughout 2025, the team completed extensive supplier and professional training, including cleanroom-focused programmes and leadership development.
Cleanroom operations also evolved during the year, with increased capacity with our irradiation partner Steris introduced to support customer demand.
A key theme for 2026 is investment. CES is committed to strengthening systems, processes, and the customer experience through several major initiatives:
-
We’re upgrading our internal systems to allow for full batch traceability on consumables we supply, as well as a more sleek order processing capabilities.
-
We’re implementing a new CRM system.
-
We’re giving the website a complete refresh and looking to launch a new webstore integrated with our internal systems.
-
We’re continuing to invest in our team, giving them access to courses and qualifications for their professional development.
With some challenging targets set for 2026, CES enters the new year with confidence, clear direction, and a strong foundation. Continued focus on innovation, system upgrades, people development, and supplier and customer partnerships will be key drivers of success.
We would like to thank our team, customers, and suppliers for their continued support and look forward to building on this momentum in 2026.
