At Innospec, we’re passionate about inspiring the next generation of scientists and engineers. That’s why members of our R+D team in Ellesmere Port, UK, volunteer each year at the 'Chemistry at Work' week hosted at the Catalyst Science Discovery Centre, Widnes, UK.

During the event, our colleagues lead an interactive workshop demonstrating how surfactants are made and used in everyday products, bringing chemistry to life in a fun and accessible way.

Jack Saunders, one of our Polymer Chemists, shared:
ā€œMy favorite thing about participating in this event is the interaction with the children and seeing their interest in science grow. I’m proud to show them that Innospec develops exciting products that impact their everyday lives. The best thing about the demonstration is that even the kids who aren’t that engaged at the start become engaged by the end because it is so simple and fun!ā€

Well done to Jack Saunders, Radha Ramkalawon, Jack Whittaker, and Olivia Fitzpatrick for their commitment to supporting STEM education and sparking curiosity in young minds, because the future of science starts today.

This Monday was the World Day for Health and Safety at Work, marking an excellent opportunity for all organizations to reflect on their ongoing commitment to improving health and safety in the workplace. At Innospec, health and safety isn’t just a priority, it’s a core value. Through our global Journey to Zero Harm program, our teams continually strive to create a safer working environment for everyone.

In 2024 alone, our sites completed over 12,500 safety interactions and over 147,000 60-second personal risk assessment checks, helping to achieve a 24% reduction in our group employee accident rate per 100,000 hours. This is a testament to our commitment to proactive safety measures.

We’re proud of our teams for their dedication to continuous improvement and keeping safety at the heart of everything we do.

At Innospec, we’re committed to developing future talent by providing valuable placement opportunities for students looking to gain real-world experience.

Tisha Jethwa started her year-long placement in 2024 with the Personal Care Research and Development team. She has since gained a wealth of experience in both lab and office environments, with a particular focus on testing the rinsibility of surfactants and has used this knowledge in practice to develop formulations for shampoos, body pastes, and shower creams. Beyond practical and technical knowledge, she has also developed soft skills by building confidence in presenting to senior management and communicating with our global team.

We’re proud to play a role in kickstarting careers with real industry experience. Find out more about the opportunities we offer for young people:
