We greatly appreciate the time and effort that our clients made to assist our research during the development of this business deal and of the extremely co mplimentary comments we have received, below are just three of a significant sample:-

We consider these comments to be indicative of how our clients generally view the services that we strive to deliver every day and whilst the ownership of the business may have changed, our ideals and ethos will not. It is the inte ntion of the board to facilitate more of our current type of workload together with further advancement into retail areas, increase our heritage profile, and widen our pharmaceutical offering amongst a number of initiatives that we wil l be rolling out in the coming months.
The new holding company board will comprise of Chris Chivers as chief executive, Jeremy Vickers as finance director, a non-executive chairman, Robin Williams and a non-executive director from Close, James Blake.

Chris Mardell will continue to operate as regional operations director to develop our Cambridge office.
