We are delighted to welcome Douglas Hutchinson to Actual Analytics as our new Non-Executive Director.

Douglas brings a wealth of experience and a strong commitment to advancing innovative solutions in behavioural data analytics.

Douglas shares our vision for harnessing technology to make research more efficient, accurate, and humane. His appointment strengthens our mission to provide cutting-edge solutions that not only drive scientific discovery but also improve animal welfare.

“It’s an honour to contribute my expertise to such an innovative and forward-thinking organisation. I am eager to work alongside the talented team to support the company’s vision and strategic goals,” Douglas said.

Actual Analytics’ systems were developed as part of the NC3Rs movement to replace, refine, and reduce the use of animals in scientific research. By combining bespoke hardware with advanced video analysis powered by AI, our technology enables researchers to gather more data, in less time, with fewer animals — supporting both scientific progress and the highest standards of animal welfare.

Douglas added:

“I am looking forward to the opportunity to help make a difference in animal welfare while helping companies achieve faster, more efficient, and higher-quality research.”

We are excited to have Douglas on board and look forward to the insights, guidance, and strategic expertise he will bring to the team.
