WelcomeJust as we were getting used to the "new normal" with stock markets recovering and biotech stocks out-performing other indices, the markets reminded us last week that we cannot sit back on our laurels, falling as the BIO 2010 convention came to a close. |
 |
The markets in Europe continue to be affected by the turmoil in Greece and the recent volatility caused by the uncertainty of the UK elections. The new normal is a time for businesses to be on one hand focused on their own strategies, but on the other to retain operational flexibility to weather the ups and downs that are still to come.
At College Hill Life Sciences in 2010 we have seen a great upswing in confidence amongst our longstanding and new clients. We have matched this with strategic moves of our own, in particular new appointments in our financial communications team. We were also pleased that our strengths and successes as part of the wider College Hill were recognised, with the agency being awarded the Holmes Report European Corporate Consultancy of the Year accolade.
Our optimism continues as we look forward to the rest of the year and we look forward to hearing from you - if you feel we can help you accelerate or celebrate your successes do not hesitate to get in touch.
