UK Couple Establishes Cord Blood Bank

Paul and Claire Griffith have opened Cryogenesis International, a cord blood bank.

They were inspired by a shortage of storage facility in their part of Britain.

Excerpt: "The technology was not available for their first daughter Blythe but former local government worker Paul said he and Claire were so inspired by their experience with Honore that they worked tirelessly to set up their own company, the first of its kind outside the south east of the UK. They received a licence from the Belgian lab at the end of last year. "
