We are Arcus

HOW WE BEGAN

In newly regulated, or soon to be regulated, industries, it is essential to create a robust and proactive regulatory strategy that tracks your commercial aspirations.

Arcus Compliance Ltd was founded by CEO Lee Bryan & Director of Research and Development John Walker to help vape brands to build such compliance strategies as countries around the world began to regulate the vapour industry in their region. Expertly led by Robert Sidebottom, our recently appointed Managing Director, we are well-placed to guide and advise our global client base. 

Arcus Compliance Ltd supports its clients to strategically navigate the constantly evolving regulations that face the vape, cannabis/hemp, cosmetics, medical device and adult health industries.  Our proprietary software and methodologies form the basis of your compliance strategy and have been honed over years of working with some of the largest brands in the world.  This “hive mind” approach has allowed us to continuously improve our processes and software to ensure all clients benefit from the ongoing development.

Coupled with first-class horizon scanning for regulatory developments, we are able to build your compliance product files to suit your market requirements, which allows you to focus on building your brand.

To succeed in your chosen industry you need to view compliance as a moving target and keep your compliance strategy fluid. We are adept at working with maverick and entrepreneurial clients who are either disrupting traditional industries or creating completely new ones. 

Our ability to quickly build baseline compliance and install robust processes is second to none. Find out how Arcus can help you achieve your goals.

HOW WE CAN HELP

To enable brands to have a greater understanding of compliance, we have developed a library of frequently updated white papers and infographics, in addition to our innovative proprietary Software as a Service (SaaS) tools, available in multiple languages, allowing brands to grow and control some aspects of product stewardship, and helping to reduce the cost of regulatory compliance significantly. Arcus Compliance’s consulting services enable us to effectively support your internal resource, allowing them to utilise our expertise, ensuring essential compliance tasks are handled effectively, accurately & efficiently internally.

By educating and supporting your internal team, we are able to ensure your retained hours are saved for more complex tasks & research. There is also a substantial cost-benefit to outsourcing a niche function, such as regulatory compliance.  Your business won’t suffer from a ‘learning curve’, there are no absence or holiday issues, and our team isare constantly striving to improve best-practice across the industry through our extensive client base and positively & fairly influence regulatory bodies.

WE APPLY OUR KNOWLEDGE IN A VARIETY OF WAYS TO HELP YOU ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS WITH MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY

When you drill down to any regulated market you will soon realise there is far more to it than meets the eye. Whether you tackle it in-house or outsource it, we can make the journey far less painful, whether through education or implementation.
