Drug delivery and packaging services specialist Catalent Pharma Solutions has hired two General Managers to oversee key Clinical Supply Services facilities in its European network.

Alan Robinson will oversee operations at the company’s Bolton and Deeside facilities in the UK. In this new role, he will drive uptake in the Clinical Supply Services provided by both sites, and leverage their complementary expertise to provide innovative solutions to customers.

'The Bolton and Deeside sites operate very much like sister facilities due to their close proximity and mirrored and complementary capabilities. This appointment allows Alan Robinson to leverage the breadth of services and technical expertise across both sites to the benefit of our customers,' said Stuart Cryer, Catalent's Vice President, Operations, Development and Clinical Services, Europe and Rest of World.

A 30-year industry veteran, Robinson’s areas of expertise include operations management, strategic planning, and the application of continuous performance improvement methodologies, including Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing. He was formerly Senior Director and Site Head for Aptuit.

In a second announcement, Roel de Nobel has been appointed General Manager of Catalent’s Schorndorf, Germany Clinical Supply Services facility, and will focus on driving operational excellence to support clients’ clinical trial needs. De Nobel brings more than 20 years of experience in logistics, supply chain and financial management to Catalent, most recently as Global Director, Logistics Management for Carl Zeiss.

'Roel de Nobel has an impressive operations and supply chain track record in highly complex businesses, and we are very pleased to welcome him to Catalent to lead our Schorndorf operations,' added Cryer.
