Randox

[8] In 2014 it invested €25 million in developing a site in Dungloe, County Donegal, aiming to create more than 470 jobs in research, engineering and life sciences by 2020.

[12] In April 2022, the company purchased Boston House in Fitzroy Square, London for £29m from the entrepreneur Touker Suleyman and was expected to spend a further £15m to convert the property into The Randox Institute which will be an education centre for personalised healthcare.

[14] As of November 2017, around 50 criminal prosecutions for driving offences had been dropped in what BBC home affairs correspondent, Danny Shaw, described as "the biggest forensic science scandal in the UK for decades".

[15] Police forces have begun reviewing over 10,000 criminal cases that may be affected by the alleged data manipulation, including sexual and violent crimes.

[18] In March 2019 it was reported that former cabinet minister and Conservative MP Owen Paterson, who was a consultant to Randox, had helped to lobby the government to seek contracts for them.

When asked if Paterson had lobbied on behalf of the company a spokesman for DHSC said they were "unable to comment on the personnel matters of other organisations".

[31] In April 2021, Randox posted notices in its Donegal Gaeltacht facility forbidding employees from speaking any language other than English in the workplace.

The company receives significant funding from Údarás na Gaeltachta, which is charged with industrial development in Irish-speaking areas.
