ETL becomes Lexica as it unveils new strategy for growth

Published

June 14, 2022

LONDON, June 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Lexica is the new name of leading specialist Health and Life Sciences consultancy ETL, which is rebranding following record results and ahead of a major growth strategy to more than double its 100-strong team and £12M income.

The consultancy plans to grow income by up to three times and employ over 200 specialists by 2028. This follows record income of £12.4M in the financial year to 31 March 2022, up 23% on the previous financial year.

The move comes as the company confirms its twin focus on the health and life sciences sectors whose links, it says, are accelerating, both virtually and physically: in fact, Lexica predicts these sectors will share integrated hubs in all major cities within the next twenty years.

The ambitious strategy will see Lexica further develop its existing services in seven priority growth areas: strategic planning services for life sciences as well as health; sustainability; data analytics; built asset life cycle; transition; digital; large healthcare programme and project management.

The new name and more contemporary look come at a particularly confident and forward-focused point in the company’s evolution – and there is a story behind both.

Tina Nolan, Managing Director, Lexica explained that the company took ‘lexicon’, meaning specialism-specific language, and pluralised it to reflect Lexica’s two specialisms. Its new logo has been designed to represent the interlocking nature of healthcare and life sciences and can also be seen as quotation marks to reflect “opening up conversations”, which, she says, are where her team excels.

“We’re a purpose-driven organisation, proud of our NHS roots and committed to contributing to better health, and that’s an important part of why both clients and colleagues work with us,” she explains.

“There is a natural, symbiotic link between life sciences and health – and our role is knowing both and strengthening effective collaboration between the two, both digitally and physically.

“But there is more than just synergy between the health and life sciences sectors: they will increasingly develop in tandem, in terms of both physical and digital co-location. It’s a global trend, in the interests of both research and delivery of healthcare, and accelerated by Covid, that our teams understand incredibly well.

“Lexica reflects our offer of specialist knowledge and understanding how to help our clients across both sectors to deliver meaningful health outcomes, and so will allow us to define ourselves clearly as we grow.”

Tina is also keen to point out that the rebrand also provides an opportunity to further develop the company culture.

“This isn’t just about appearances or how we look to the outside world,” she explains.

“It also gives us a platform to continue developing our company culture together with our people, which is already significant in attracting both clients and recruits. Our people tell us they are proud to work for us and value how they can develop with us while doing important work and giving back, both through our contribution to the NHS and our support of health-related charities.

“Continuing to attract the best experts is critical as we pursue this ambitious growth with a clear market focus and a robust plan to grow Lexica.”

Coveted Awards Recognize the Most Innovative and Exciting Exhibitors at Important Boutique Hotel Design Event.

IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Roland DGA’s DG DIMENSE technology was honored with an NKBA Manhattan Inspire Award for “Best Wallcoverings/Wall Treatment” at Boutique Design New York (BDNY) 2024, the leading trade fair and conference for boutique hotel design, which took place November 10-11 in New York City’s Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. Produced by the NKBA-Manhattan Chapter and sponsored by aspire design and home magazine, the Inspire awards recognize the most innovative and exciting exhibitors at this important event, with a focus on all the categories beyond kitchen and bath that inspire designers to do their best work. The winners were selected by NKBA Programs Co-chair Diana Mosher and a panel of esteemed judges based on a variety of criteria, including functional, sustainable, and aesthetic considerations.

DG DIMENSE, a Roland DG Group company, offers revolutionary digital printing technology that allows users to produce one-of-a-kind textured wallcoverings, wall art, and other interior design elements, as well as eye-catching signage, displays, packaging, and more. Centered around the advanced Dimensor S (which Roland DGA demonstrated at BDNY 2024), this patented solution combines a specialized inket printer, proprietary media, and specially formulated water-based inks to create 3D textured prints and full-color graphics in a single, seamless process. This sustainable, eco-friendly process is made possible by the unique interaction of the ink and media when heated to create a controllable raised surface. The printed images and graphics can foam up to 1.5 mm in height and 1.58 m in width, creating stunning visual and tactile effects.

“We are thrilled about receiving this prestigious award,” said Roland DGA’s Business Development and Co-Creation Manager, Kitt Jones. “DG DIMENSE represents the evolution of surface art, giving users the ability to design non-repeatable texture by controlling and manipulating the surface structure rather than laying ink, thus minimizing cost, reducing print times, and adding a new and exciting dimension to traditional printing.”
