London, UK – 11 April 2018: Ergomed plc, (LSE: ERGO) (‘Ergomed’ or the ‘Company’), a company focused on providing specialised services to the pharmaceutical industry, today announces its unaudited Preliminary Results for the year ended 31 December 2017.
Commenting on the results, Stephen Stamp, Chief Executive Officer of Ergomed plc, said: “It has been another very strong year for our pharmacovigilance business which continues to outperform a fast-growing market. Our offering is now integrated under the PrimeVigilance brand and our aim is to become a leading global provider of pharmacovigilance services by 2020. Our acquisition of PSR added to our strength as a CRO in orphan diseases and we see the opportunity for Ergomed to take a leadership position in a growing sector where our unique offering positions us well for growth.
“We have an excellent platform on which to build our PrimeVigilance and specialist CRO services, both organically and through strategic acquisitions, to add geographic coverage and complementary skills and services. We have started the year in a position of strength, with a strong order book backlog and, going forwards, our focus is to maximise the potential of our profitable services businesses and execute on our refined strategy towards global leadership in these attractive markets.”
