Society’s HQ stayed open despite London bomb attacks

The Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s headquarters stayed open for business all last week despite the terrorist bomb attacks on London’s transport systems as Londoners were heading for work on 7 July.

No member of staff was hurt in the incidents although one staff member was one of those evacuated from one of the stricken trains and many members of staff and headquarters visitors were caught up in the ensuing emergency measures.

The President of the Society, Hemant Patel, said: “Last week was a terrible tragedy for all Londoners and my thoughts are with the victims and their families.

“I am proud at how the Society's staff pulled together to ensure that the London offices could continue to operate in such difficult circumstances.”
