We’ve got exciting news to bring you. 2022 has been a dynamic year, with rapid change, development, and growth. We have focussed on product range, warehouse, and stock consolidation as well as our business systems to enable the company to focus on what matters most for our clients.

As part of our strategic growth plan, we are evolving and excited to announce that from 3^rd January 2023, Inivos Scientific will become VITTA Group.

Although we will have a new name, the brands such as Edulab, SciChem and others you have come to love, trust and know will continue to be available from VITTA Group.

Why VITTA?

Our vision is to be the supply artery to life-critical industries, and VITTA is adapted from the Latin word ‘Vita’ meaning ‘life’ or ‘living’ as we continuously supply to life-critical industries all over the world.

We believe that no life-critical industry that we supply should be disrupted as a result of a poor supply chain. This includes sectors such as education, food & beverage, water, energy and oil & gas, pharmaceuticals, laboratory testing and biotechnology.

Our assured supply chain supported by next-generation ordering platforms and a responsive wheel of support provides a resourceful supply chain solution unmatched in today’s world.

Introducing VITTA Group

Our laboratory consumables, equipment and chemicals division that serves life-critical industries such as food & beverage, water, pharmaceuticals, and the energy sector will be known as VITTA Scientific.

Our division serving the education sector including the brands you’ll remember as SciChem and Shaw Scientific will be known as VITTA Education.

Our division bringing you our own branded Edulab, SciChem and other exclusive products will be known as VITTA Wholesale.

So, for those of you who are trade customers, re-sellers and distributors, you will continue to be able to buy in bulk as well as receive your wholesale and trade prices through VITTA Wholesale.

What does this mean?

In support of our vision, we are pleased to be launching:

1. Our dedicated wheel of support – goes beyond the expected to give every client a single point of contact for all their needs ensuring supply solutions are only ever one phone call away.
2. A new and improved extensive product range – the rollout of what we’ve come to call our ‘product blueprint’ will enable us to stock what we sell and sell what we stock to ensure stock assurance and supply chain transparency every time.
3. Next-level account management – we are fanatical about end-to-end account management and provide open and honest communication every time.
4. Next-generation ordering platforms and web ordering portal – our advanced procurement and reporting interfaces provide you with the intelligence to control your budgeted spend.

 

 

This is simply a change of name, so there are no changes to credit terms, bank details, VAT and we have a Certificate of Name Change from Companies House for those who need it. For further clarification, download our Company Details Reference Guide for more details.

We believe in the value of life-long partnerships and look forward to continuing our relationship into the exciting year ahead.

The VITTA team are here and would love to hear from you if you have any questions or concerns.

Grants of up to £5000 and £10000 are on offer.

For more information and to apply visit here.

 

 

Royal Society of Chemistry: Enhanced Equipment – all year round

These funds are awarded against bids for equipment that cannot be purchased through a school’s mainstream teaching budget and which would enrich the learning experience of students in either primary (science) or secondary (chemistry) studies. In particular, this would be for equipment that supports the delivery of the practical aspect of chemistry education and an application will be enhanced by a demonstration of the diversity of application of the equipment within and between student cohorts.

Grants of up to £1,000 are on offer.

For more information and to apply visit here.

 

 

Royal Society of Chemistry: Chemistry Clubs – all year round

The funds are targeted at activities run at schools/ colleges outside the normal science timetable which may be focussed on generating interest in chemistry in all ability levels or which may provide opportunities to stretch and challenge the already able and motivated. Applications from existing chemistry clubs looking to expand/ enhance activities would be welcome as would those from colleagues interested in starting a club. An application would need to indicate how the longevity of the proposal was ensured and how best practice and experience from it might be shared within and between other (perhaps feeder) schools.

Grants of up to £1000 are on offer.

For more information and to apply visit here.

The Wolfson Foundation – deadline 1^st December

Support high-achieving state-funded secondary schools and sixth-form colleges to improve the teaching of science, computer science, design & technology, art, languages, music and performing arts at GCSE and A-Level.
