July 2024 insights — part 2

2024 marks the significant milestone of the World Courier global depot network turning 20. The journey we have travelled over these two decades is a testament to the relentless commitment of our team, in pursuit of world class services for our customers, and healthier futures for patients everywhere.

Reflecting on our origins, the establishment of our inaugural depot in Argentina in 2004 laid the groundwork for World Courier's long commitment to creating a globally interconnected network dedicated to pharmaceutical solutions. Back then, it was just a couple of team members handling a few shipments each week. two decades later, and we've evolved into a powerhouse with 18 strategically positioned depots worldwide, supporting hundreds of trials every month. Over these two decades, our journey has been marked by tenacity for quality, and innovative evolution that have shaped our operations, and services we provide to our partners.

“I vividly remember the early days when just a couple of us were working in our first depot, the exciting challenge has always been about scaling up the processes and knowledge we developed for one depot to new depots in other countries. As an in-house pharmacist, being part of World Courier's journey from day one has been incredibly fulfilling. Our commitment to innovation and quality remains unwavering as we look forward to an even brighter future in clinical trial logistics.”
