About Us
A team led by knowledge, is a team well led. Dr Adams Laboratories has been running since 16th April 2019, guided by our Managing Director Billy Wang, who comes with a wealth of experience in the medical industry. Originally, Dr Adams was established to deliver analytical services and innovative instruments for pharmaceutical and biological laboratory sectors. However, the unexpected pandemic hit and we all found ourselves in an unprecedented time. We reacted, as we do, to our customers and the market needs, and (frankly speaking) the market needed PPE.
Due to our already strong and reliable supply chain, we supplied millions of lateral flow kits and various other PPE-related products to different organisations across the UK to support the high demand. During this period, it gave us the time to grow as a business and reflect on what direction we are headed, and to guide us accordingly.

Our approach, no matter the circumstance, has always been to make sure the customer is priority – today is no different. We continue to adapt, grow and respond to market needs while ensuring our customer service doesn’t falter. We take pride in the quality of not only our products, but our customer satisfaction, and that pride resonates throughout the business and continues to motivate us.
The experience and knowledge we have gained over these tumultuous years has been invaluable, teaching us how to navigate through situations you perhaps don’t expect to be in – we learn, we grow, we look to the future.
Our Vision, Our Mission…
Be an innovation and inspiring company, that helps people live longer and better lives.
We let science take the lead. We let it inspire us, through ambition and dedication, we will spot trends in the market and respond. We nourish every communication with our suppliers, partners and customers. In the end, we will become the innovators bringing inspirational products to the public. We’re currently on our way to acquiring our WDA Licence and thereafter a Pharmacy Licence.
Meet The Team
SYD BRANFORD | SALES & LOGISITICS MANAGER
The phrase ‘A wealth of knowledge’ can sometimes be a little overused. But our Logistics Manager, Syd is the perfect example of this.
With forty years of experience in the logistics field he has gained enormous amounts of invaluable knowledge. Having worked for various airlines and shipping agents across the world, he has acquired a global network of partners, agents and hauliers worldwide to provide the service and support required by Dr Adams and our customers.
Knowing the logistics world is one thing, but an immeasurable amount of knowledge on customs procedures, competitive pricing whether it be air, road or sea freight shipments is a pretty good bonus. Have we mentioned his flawless communication skills amongst our customers and suppliers?
YUEN YAN LAW | CHIEF SCIENCE OFFICER
Besides her vibrant personality and warm nature, our Chief Science Officer Yan brings years of experience in the field and is a vital part of our team at Dr Adams. While being a HCPC registered Biomedical Scientist specialising in Virology and microbiology, she also has 3 years experience in the NHS and Public Health England (PHE) keeping Dr Adams educated and well-informed.
Yan operates as a HPLC specialist in pharmaceutical and healthcare products analytics spanning 4 years and her skill set does not stop there. Laboratory management, material safety data management and healthcare product compliance management and just a few other strings she has to her bow and another reason she is a true asset to our blossoming team.
BILLY WANG | MANAGING DIRECTOR
Having completed his Bachelor’s degree in biomedical sciences, and qualified as a clinical biochemist, followed by his master’s in molecular medicine, (finishing with a pretty impressive dissertation on P27 transcription factors) it’s fairly safe to say he knows a thing or two. Combine knowledge, enthusiasm, experience, and general love for people – not to mention Billy’s many years working for our trusted NHS – and the result is a brilliant leader. These skills instinctively drew his focus onto becoming a very successful entrepreneur (which turns out he is a natural at) and led him to successfully start several companies, before founding Dr. Adams. Fast forward a few years and here we are today, growing our team, building long-lasting relationships, and more excited than ever as to where we are headed.

Egle’s passion about natural healthcare, remedies and therapies is a driving force for her dedication to our business and the industry. With a BA and MSc in Psychology and many years of experience as an operations manager, Egle is equipped with all the skills to be an asset to the team at Dr Adams.

There are countless skills a successful Procurement Manager needs to have to excel in their role and it’s safe to say, Steven’s got them! Negotiation skills – check. Business mind-set – check.
