About
Upperton Pharma Solutions is a UK contract development and manufacturing organisation. Upperton Limited was formally established on 31 August 1999 by Dr. Richard Johnson as a spray drying and cleanroom technology consultancy, moved to contract services in 2006 and rebranded as Upperton Pharma Solutions in 2010. It now operates the 50,000 sq ft Trent Gateway facility in Beeston, Nottingham, offering formulation development, analytical development and validation, clinical manufacturing and packaging from pre-clinical through Phase III, and niche-scale commercial manufacturing across oral, nasal, nose-to-brain, pulmonary and parenteral routes.

Deterministic scores · rules-based, not AI iHow these scores are obtained: each one is computed from this profile's listed attributes — capability checkboxes, certifications, capacity figures and coverage — by a fixed formula, recomputed on every page load. Deterministic and rules-based means the score comes from a fixed, transparent formula over listed attributes — the same inputs always produce the same score. It is not AI: there is no model, no learning, and no hidden weighting. Whether a score is relevant to you depends on your specific project: a capability that raises the number may not matter for your work, and a niche strength your project needs may barely move it. Capability scores are a directional starting point, not a verdict. A lower score does not disqualify a company or consultant, and no decision should rest on the score alone — always contact the company directly to confirm the specifics for your project.
Modality focus iAdds 25 points if the profile flags advanced-therapy focus, 7 points per advanced modality listed (biologics, mAbs, ADCs, mRNA, LNP, cell and gene therapy, viral vectors, vaccines, proteins, oligos, peptides, radiopharma, biosimilars) capped at 45, 20 points for sterile capability, and 2 points per therapeutic area capped at 10. Levels: 75+ Advanced-therapy specialist | 50-74 Advanced-therapy active | 25-49 Selective | below 25 General process dev. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.
