AstraZeneca To Cut Up To 1,200 Pharmaceutical Jobs.

AstraZeneca has chosen to close a study centre in the UK, consequently in a loss of up to 1,200 pharmaceutical jobs.

The business said it had shared with its employees additional information of proposals intended to advance the productivity of its global research and development organisation.

“The proposed changes, first outlined at the end of January, include focusing research efforts on a smaller number of disease areas and consolidating activities on to a reduced global footprint through the merger of some sites. Some of our sites will close,” stated the company.

The Loughborough site is anticipated to close by the end of 2011. A smaller facility in Cambridge is also to shut, the company said.

Pharmaceutical plant axes 315 jobs

More than 300 jobs are being cut at a multinational pharmaceutical plant in the south-east, the latest massive jobs blow for the region.

Teva Pharmaceuticals in Waterford, one of the sector’s top 20 firms, called employees into a meeting at its manufacturing plant on Friday morning to announce the lay-offs.

It is understood 315 out of the 730 strong workforce are being let go. The devastating losses compound the unemployment crisis in the region after hundreds of lay-offs at Waterford Crystal, electronic components firm ABB Transformers and contact lens maker Bausch & Lombe.
