Three changes result from the Industrial Pharmacists Group's committee election
There are three new faces among the seven elected members of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society's Industrial Pharmacists Group Committee as a result of the 2007 committee election.
Brian Dougherty, Janet Halliday and Gino (Luigi) Martini have all been
elected for the first time, although Dr Halliday and Dr Martini were
already serving as co-opted members of the committee. They join John
Kerridge, Mike Murray, Jane Nicholson and Mike Parker, who were all re-elected.
Mr Dougherty, from Hexham, is chairman and technical director of The
Specials Laboratory, which he set up with a partner in 1999. The company
expects sales of £11m this year, with employee numbers rising to
145.
Dr Halliday is director of research and development at Controlled Therapeutics,
a company of 60 people in East Kilbride.
Dr Martini, from Old Harlow, Essex, works for GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals
as world-wide director, process technologies, pharmaceutical development.
The three new committee members fill one place that was vacant and two
that were previously occupied by Steve Wicks and Mel Smith. Dr Wicks,
who is currently chairman of the group, chose not to seek re-election.
Mr Smith was unsuccessful in the election. Other unsuccessful candidates
were Wanda Jay (also currently a co-opted member), Joe Ridge and Steve
Robertson.
Voting papers were sent to 2,080 group members and 478 papers (23 per
cent) were returned.
Elected committee members normally serve for three years, but an impending
review of Society structures could result in shorter terms of service
on this occasion.
The membership of the committee also includes two Council members. Those
currently serving are Sylvia Hikins and John Jolley.
