Direct expertise. No intermediaries. Implementations that finish.
The people who genuinely need help with LIMS implementations rarely have access to the people who can actually solve their problems.
Not because the experts aren't out there. But because the contracting models in our field — layered intermediaries, mismatched incentives, and rate compression — often make it difficult for end-clients to even see the experienced professionals who could make their projects succeed.
Fruitridge Consulting Group was founded to work around that broken system. We engage directly with clients who need senior LIMS expertise. No staffing firms extracting margin. No consultants learning on your dime. Just twenty years of experience, delivered the way consulting should work.
We will only work in ways that respect the work, the people it affects, and the expertise it requires. That means direct engagement, transparent pricing, and outcomes over hours.
Principal Consultant
Wayne brings over twenty years of laboratory informatics experience spanning public health surveillance, vaccine manufacturing, and pharmaceutical quality control. His career includes positions at CDC, Emergent BioSolutions, and GSK, where he led enterprise LIMS implementations across regulated sites globally.
His expertise includes end-to-end global LIMS implementations, STARLIMS module design and development, enterprise LabVantage configuration, system integrations with SAP ERP, reporting databases, and REST/SOAP APIs. He has deep experience in validation, UAT, training, change adoption, and compliance frameworks including 21 CFR Part 11, GxP, CLIA, ISO, and CAP.
Wayne has always taken pride in doing the work himself — rolling up sleeves, solving problems, and delivering outcomes that last. That's what he enjoys. That's what he's good at. And he will travel anywhere, anytime, for the right opportunity with the right structure and expectations.
Senior Consultant
Vanessa brings deep expertise in LIMS implementation and validation for regulated environments, with particular strength in pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors.
Regulated environments where compliance isn't optional.
