The PCR Coronavirus (COVID-19) testing service from SourceBio International PLC (AIM:SBI) was top of a short-list of four of “the best cheap day two Covid tests for travel” by the Which? consumer organisation.
Which?, the UK’s 'consumer champion', looked at the 50 companies suggested on the gov.uk website as providers of day-two PCR tests, but whittled this down to only those that charged no more than £60 and which offered home delivery and easy accessible Royal Mail boxes.
This resulted in a short-list of four firms, which were all mystery-shopped 13 times, checking whether test kits and results arrived on time.
In the article on the Which? website, SourceBio’s service was deemed “the most reliable choice, although more expensive than others we checked”, with “excellent results” in the mystery shop, all tests and results arriving on time and the article also noting that the laboratory is fully accredited.
SourceBio executive chairman Jay LeCoque said: “Which? is a completely impartial organisation and their review process involved a comprehensive mystery shop process, highlighting SourceBio's PCR testing service as the most reliable out of 50 businesses assessed. Outstanding customer service has always been central to SourceBio, and we will continue to maintain this standard as our customers trust us with their day two travel PCR testing.”
Broker Peel Hunt said: "This is an important endorsement and comes at a time when travel PCR requirements are easing, thus should support SourceBio's ability to retain a greater share of a smaller market in the medium term."
