Our founders’ boast over 50 years of professional experience in the school science supplies industry.
Their relative was the British ecological geneticist, E. B. Ford FRS FRCP. A leader in the research of evolution and genetics, Emeritus Professor of Ecological Genetics at the University of Oxford, Darwin medal recipient - Ford is best known for his work on genetic polymorphism and specifically moths, like the Peppered Moth from which Darwin Biological's logo is derived.
Meg, along with her husband Bil, founded Darwin Biological back in 2019 after Meg grew frustrated by the lack of innovation in the sector and poor quality of specimens available for schools to purchase. They forged strong partnerships with world-renowned organisations, such as the CCAP and NCTC, to enable schools access top quality algae, protozoa and bacteria.
Meg and the team continue to look ahead and innovate, to ensure the range of products offered are relevant, affordable and sustainable, to help inspire the next generation of biologists.
