Based in Graz, Austria, Pomper will manage and develop Brecon’s relationships with its clients in Germany, France and Switzerland. He will also be responsible for growing markets such as Spain, Portugal and Eastern Europe.
Brecon business development director Steve Kemp said: ‘We see enormous potential as pharmaceutical producers in the countries that make up the European market strive to bring new products to market while remaining competitive and compliant with the mass of legislation pertinent to the sector.
‘By partnering with Brecon, companies can concentrate on their core business, secure in the knowledge that we will bring into play all our expertise in clinical supply, commercial packaging, storage and distribution, analytical and regulatory services. Setting up a base in mainland Europe will enable us to spread that message further and faster and we’re delighted to have someone of Herbert’s calibre on board.’
