UK pharma trade group appoints new president

The UK’s leading pharmaceutical trade body, the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI), has appointed Pfizer UK’s managing director Erik Nordkamp as president.

Mr Nordkamp said he would focus on “improving access to new medicines and vaccines,” as well as “ensuring that Britain holds on to its status as a world leader in global medicines discovery now and post-Brexit.”

He said: “The industry’s collaboration with government in producing the Life Science Industrial Strategy has set the right tone of partnership and agenda setting.”
