Founded in 2000, EVS is an independent services organization that provides maintenance, validation, certification, and decontamination of laboratory equipment including microbiological safety cabinets, fume cupboards, cleanrooms and containment suites with the capacity to service products of all major brands sold within the UK.

“EVS has established an enviable reputation amongst its customers for the quality and reliability of its services,” said Tony Tyson and Jill Tyson, Directors of EVS. “We are delighted to become a part of the Calibre Scientific family, where we are confident that the Group's resources will empower EVS to meet the increasing customer demand the business has witnessed in recent years. This partnership is poised to propel the business in a growth trajectory that we have long anticipated”.
