Founder, Owner, CEO
Your trusted partner on UK markets
Composed by a team of dozens of regulatory professionals with several years of experience in the field, Obelis UK Ltd.’s headquarters are based in Oxford, United Kingdom, from where it pursues its mission of “creating compliance for safer markets”.
Our unique vision is what allowed us to help in shaping the compliance industry and providing the most effective processes to help our clients achieve what’s necessary to sell and maintain their products on the UK market.
We are proud to say that, by keeping our eyes firmly on the goal, we help our clients navigate the maze of regulations that scatter around the Great Britain and Northern Ireland regulatory frameworks. And by being partners of Obelis EU, we can also boast our smooth collaboration with European Authorized Representatives and European Responsible Persons, to smoothly transition products from the EU to the UK market, and vice-versa.
Our story
Our story began in 1988, when our CEO, Mr Gideon Elkayam, founded Obelis driven by the vision to create compliance for safer markets. Over the years, this unique vision has helped us build a remarkable standing in our field of specialization by turning us into the most significant center for regulatory services in Europe. And being based in Brussels, at the European Union’s center, has allowed us able to collaborate with the EU institutions regularly and swiftly.
Today, we can say that we have played our role in shaping the compliance industry European Union, Switzerland and United Kingdom. But our journey did not lead us astray from our original goal: every day, we continue to support our worldwide clients in navigating the regulatory maze. In three decades, we have worked with more than 3.000 manufacturers from over 60 countries.
But what is it that makes us so special? The fact that we see ourselves not only as your Consultant of choice but also, and firstly, as a partner whose purpose is to help your business grow.
Obelis Group stays by your side on your journey into and across Europe and the UK.
Our expertise
Our main service areas – medical devices, IVDs and cosmetics – generally require specialist consultation, due to the complexities of the regulations.
In our team, lawyers, chemists, pharmacists and other experts collaborate to provide a combination of UK Responsible Person services, UKCA marking and compliance consultation. However, we also offer a more general consultation on UK regulations for the other finished products intended for introduction into Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Our compliance frameworks and processes are similarly focused on getting aspiring non-UK exporters ready to expand into the Great Britain and Northern Ireland markets.
Our Values
On a regulatory level, Obelis is committed to compliance and product safety.
But we also treat our values seriously within our own ranks. Thus, we provide both our clients and ourselves with a competitive edge. In other words, we care for our clients, our people and our future.
Since 1988, Obelis has dedicated its regulatory expertise to ensure that only compliant products reach the EU, UK and Swiss markets.
We want to reduce the risk of hazards by assuring that only compliant products are placed in stores, hospitals, laboratories, and the consumers’ homes.
Our goal is to create compliance for safer markets for a positive impact on our society and our future.
Obelis demonstrates leadership and a strong commitment to compliance and safety in the EU. As a company, we take pride in acting with an owner mentality, passion about what we do, and seizing opportunities and welcoming responsibility.

At Obelis, we deliver on our promises and pride ourselves on going the extra mile, adding value that goes beyond the usual standards. Our ways of working and making decisions, as well as our compliance with procedures, ensures we have the freedom to shape our own future.
We learn by developing and deepening our knowledge of our business day by day. We listen to each other, to clients and advisors, we capture and share this knowledge, and apply the lessons learnt from successes and failures.
At Obelis, each individual inspires trust as we match behaviour with words and take responsibility for actions. We collaborate in the best interests of our clients by acting as leaders, because we believe that we all play a leadership role.
