Letter to Read (No. 31): Novartis to close UK research site

Dear Ian,

I see that you are giving the example...well done! here we go with Novartis....do you provide personalised advise to CEO's in distress? (after all, you've been there...)

"In a holding statement, Novartis said only that it was continually reviewing its global operations “to ensure we have the right capacity in place for market demand and the Novartis development pipeline, and to ensure that our strategic focus is appropriately aligned.”


If the closure of the site is confirmed and research ceases at the site, the news will be another major blow to the UK pharmaceutical industry, following Pfizer’s recent decision to close its R&D operations in Sandwich, Kent with the loss of nearly 2,400 jobs."
Jeeesus, all PR people must go for training to the same place! Oh no, silly me, they just copy/paste from other announcements.  Obviously.  In these challenging times when we must "streamline operations", "align objectives", "focus our strategy" and all the usual ****
