Heading up Phlexglobal, Inc.

Phlexglobal’s move to open a US operation follows a sustained period of growth in the UK and Europe, and increasing interest from current and potential US-based client companies. Aidan said: “Phlexglobal has established itself in Europe with a portfolio of niche services and I’m looking forward to extending that to our US clients.

Nicola Murgatroyd, chief executive officer of Phlexglobal, commented: “This has been a really exciting 12 months for us, having secured the ongoing contract with UCB and with our US client base steadily growing, the next logical step was to open a US office.
“I am delighted to have Aidan on board to lead our US operation. His industry experience and contacts will be invaluable to us in promoting and delivering our services to the US clinical research market.”
