ARCINOVA, a pharmaceutical research company, has appointed Pilgrims Group as supplier of manned guarding and security services to their newly acquired site in Alnwick, Northumberland.
As a Contract Research and Development Organisation (CRDO) it provides the pharma sector with services from drug research and development (R&D) through small scale manufacture. The company, formed by owners of Shott Trinova LLP, acquired the Alnwick site from drug services company Covance in February 2016, to head its international contract R&D business.
Pilgrims Group reports that it has long-standing experience providing security and risk management services to the pharmaceutical industry.
Pilgrims Group Contract Development Manager, Anthony Wisdom, said: “The pharma industry plays an important role and brings with it additional security considerations. Pilgrims has vast experience operating in this market. We operate globally within this industry and support the entire supply chain, including R&D, manufacturing, distribution and medical services to end users. Clients also have the ability to draw on our other divisions and services, such as Information and Intelligence, Risk Assessment and business continuity planning, consultancy and corporate and executive protection.”
