Icon prepares to take Pfizer staff but doesn't want facilities
Icon intends to hire 600 to 800 staff to cope with the increased workload and some of these could come from Pfizer. However, facilities, such as the site in Sandwich, UK, are of no interest to Icon.
“ Our core business, the running of Phase II-IV clinical trials, is not a facilities business ”, Peter Gray, CEO of Icon, told a conference call with analysts. In contrast, Gray said: “ We have talked and provided in our agreements with Pfizer, significantly, for the potential for us to take employees .”
Outsourcing-Pharma asked Parexel if it had a similar arrangement with Pfizer. A spokesperson said: “ We are working through the details of what will come over and the mechanisms for moving work over .
“ The partnership has a transition period of about a year and a half. At this point, we are mainly focused on optimising the governance structure, procedures and workflows to accomplish Pfizer’s goals .” Pfizer failed to answer questions from Outsourcing-Pharma in time for publication.
