The Director
The Director Marcus Lethlean has completed a Bachelor of Laws at Deakin University as well as a Psychology degree from Monash University and started working in the Pharmaceutical industry in 2001.
Mediport commenced in 2007 with only one vehicle. The opportunity for expansion came when Mediport was invited to provide a bespoke solution for CSL after attempts at working with existing cold chain businesses proved inadequate. In 2009, Victorian regional runs were added after an initial trial period and now Mediport covers most of the state.
Expansion to Western Australia occurred in 2013 with South Australia, New South Wales and Queensland completing the expansion in 2016.
We are continually looking for the most accountable and transparent systems in cold chain pharmaceutical logistics, we welcome input and enjoy the opportunity to manage the integration for companies away from eskies carrying ice blocks and/or cool packs to a validated refrigerated cold chain model for distribution.
The benefits of using Mediport’s services extend to the environmental footprint of our customers and our customers’ customer. By working with Mediport, we are reducing greatly the reliance on single use packing materials such as gel packs and polystyrene, some of which when broken invariably enters our water ways whilst most simply goes into land fill.
