Gerald Heddell, Director of Inspection, Enforcement and Standards, MHRA said:
Regulation is often misunderstood. Here in the UK it’s progressive, pragmatic and supportive and crucial in making the UK competitive in a global market.
‘Making the case for UK medicines’ offers a great opportunity for senior leaders in manufacturing to find out more about what we and wider UK government can offer.
Ian McCubbin, Senior Vice President, North America, Japan & Global Pharma Supply – GMS, GlasxoSmithKline said:
The UK manufacturing “ecosystem” offers a hugely compelling environment.
Our skilled workforce, pragmatic regulation and favourable tax options add up to ensure that facilities based in the UK should be part of every leading pharmaceutical company’s manufacturing network, but we are at a cross road and we will need to work together to succeed.
