Senior leadership will still be involved in running trials.”
“The acquisition of Theorem marks an important milestone for Chiltern,” said Nick Thornton, Chiltern chairman. “We stayed true to our mission to be a responsive, client-centric mid-sized provider, yet we enhanced our geographic coverage and service offerings in key areas.
