Justine Weyman
REACH specialist (and handbag designer)

When Syngenta relocated its European Regulatory Affairs team to Basel in Switzerland, Justine decided to move into the area of Regulatory Consultancy, moving to JSC in 2008.  She specialises in REACH and really enjoys the wide scope that the new Regulation encompasses.

After gaining a BSc (Hons) in Toxicology and Pharmacology and following a life long interest in Creepy Crawlies (but not spiders!), Justine embarked on a PhD at the University of Southampton studying the effects of insecticides on non-target insects.  After spending many a balmy sunny day counting aphids and hoverflies in the fields of Hampshire, she first embarked upon her career in Regulatory Affairs in the employ of the Pesticide Safety Directorate in 1994.

Keen to further develop her knowledge of regulatory affairs, she then moved to the Regulatory department at Covance in Harrogate, before moving to Uniroyal Chemicals (now Chemtura) in Slough where she was responsible for the national registrations in UK, Ireland, France and Italy.  Whilst at Uniroyal, Justine developed her project management skills and gained an extensive knowledge of regulatory issues.

Eager to develop her knowledge of European Regulatory Affairs, Justine then moved to Syngenta where she worked as a Regulatory Manager responsible for a number of herbicides.  This included a number of EU submissions, coordinating large projects with in-house experts to ensure successful regulatory outcomes.

Justine works from home in Farnborough in Hampshire, where she lives with her husband and two boys.  In her spare time, she enjoys creating handbags and purses, which she sells at Craft Fairs.  The Weymans have recently acquired a beehive and look forward to harvesting some home-grown honey in the near future!
