Description

Almac Pharma Services has announced plans to create 200 new jobs following the issuing of a new Government licence. The accreditation means that the company can produce medicines at its site in Loughborough, where it already has a research centre. A spokesperson for the company confirmed that they had a number of new projects with new clients which are expected to start within a few months. The local Member of Parliament, Nicky Morgan, welcomed the creation of skilled jobs in her constituency.
