Default Hancock's ex-neighbour under investigation by UK's medical regulator

[MHRA investigating former publican Alex Bourne who
won £30m of work producing Covid test vials]


[The former publican and neighbour
of Matt Hancock who secured lucrative
work producing millions of vials for NHS Covid tests
is under investigation by the
UK’s medical regulator, the Guardian can reveal.
Alex Bourne, who used to run the Cock Inn near
the health secretary’s old constituency home
in Thurlow, won about £30m of work producing
the test tubes despite having no prior experience
in the medical devices industry.


Prior to the pandemic, his company, Hinpack,
made plastic cups and takeaway boxes
for the catering industry.
Now it supplies tens of millions of vials
from its production site on an
industrial potato farm complex in Cambridgeshire.]


[The Medicines and Healthcare products
Regulatory Agency (MHRA) confirmed
it has launched an investigation into
Bourne’s company. “We take all reports
of non-compliance very seriously,”
said Graeme Tunbridge,
director of devices at the MHRA.
“We are currently investigating
allegations about Hinpack and will take
appropriate action as necessary.
Patient safety is our top priority.”

The Guardian understands the MHRA
investigation was launched after
officers from the local
South Cambridgeshire council passed on
some concerns reported to them about
hygiene and safety standards around
the end of January.
Through his lawyers, Bourne said he
was unaware of any MHRA investigation
and had not been contacted by the regulator.
