Elizabeth Philp: A Multifaceted Leader in Personalised Medicine

Elizabeth Philp, Co-founder and CEO of Roseway Labs and the wife of Chris Philp, a UK Member of Parliament, has forged an inspiring path from corporate life to entrepreneurship. Her business, Roseway Labs, is a compounding pharmacy that works with medical professionals to provide customised medications that assist patients in situations where standard medical treatments are inadequate.

Roseway Labs, established in 2018, creates customised medication by modifying forms, adjusting active ingredients and bases and altering drug strength to suit specific needs. Along with normal medications, the pharmacy imports specialised therapies through its WDA and compounds supplements, all of which are delivered right to patients' doors.

Elizabeth took a unique path to becoming an entrepreneur. She attended a comprehensive school that did not encourage women pursuing science due to a lack of professional guidance. She was the only girl taking physics and applied maths A Levels in her year.  She started her work in human resources after receiving a combined degree in maths and chemistry. After many interesting projects including managing HR shared services and offshoring work to India, she moved into management consulting.  She later acquired the skills necessary to launch her own business thanks to an MBA from London Business School.

Elizabeth became interested in healthcare after giving birth to very premature babies. Motivated by her experiences, she founded Roseway Labs with former co-workers. She created the business plan, raised funds and put in many hours to make the concept a reality.

Elizabeth has overcome difficulties as a woman in a male-dominated field, such as unequal compensation and obstacles to her career. But her perseverance has helped Roseway Labs succeed, garnering positive feedback, loyal clients, and recognition in the field.

Balancing the demands of entrepreneurship and family life as the wife of Chris Philp, Elizabeth remains focused on growing her business. She encourages others to embrace risks, saying, “With a clear plan and strong network, it’s possible to build a career you love. The key is to take that first step and trust yourself.”
