Leatherhead Food Research joins Sagentia Regulatory under distinct regulatory-focused practice

This rebrand marks a pivotal step in the strategic unification of five world-class R&D consultancies under the Sagentia brand. Bringing together over 300 consultants, it reinforces our commitment to integrated innovation and regulatory excellence. It also enhances our ability to serve a broad range of industries, including the chemicals, consumer goods, food and beverage, energy, medical, defence, aviation, and industrial sectors.

Introducing Sagentia Regulatory

Sagentia Regulatory encompasses the former TSG Consulting and Leatherhead Food Research teams. It will continue to deliver expert regulatory services from offices in Knaresborough and Epsom (UK), Washington DC (USA), and across Canada and Europe, helping clients navigate business-critical risks in science and product regulations and compliance.

While the Leatherhead Food Research brand will be retained due to its strong heritage and industry recognition, it will now operate as part of the Sagentia Regulatory practice.

The five practices of Sagentia:

• Sagentia Regulatory – Expert guidance on science and product regulations
• Sagentia Innovation – R&D advisory and product development consulting for leading consumer and industrial organisations
• Sagentia Medical – Deep expertise in MedTech R&D
• Sagentia Defence – Science and technology solutions to address critical defence and security challenges
• Sagentia Aviation – Technical and engineering consultancy for civil and military aviation

Daryl Thomas, Managing Director of Sagentia Regulatory and Leatherhead Food Research, commented:

“This rebrand is more than a name change—it’s a transformation in how we serve our clients. As regulatory demands grow more complex and global, our clients need partners who combine deep regulatory insight with cutting-edge technical expertise. With Sagentia Regulatory, they gain access to a wider pool of expertise, more integrated services, and a forward-looking approach that helps them stay compliant, competitive, and innovative.”

By uniting this diverse regulatory and technological expertise, Sagentia aims to foster cross-market synergy and accelerate scientific and technological advancement.
