Pegasus, an Ashfield company, part of UDG
Healthcare plc, has grown its Pharma & Life Sciences division with the
appointment of six new members of staff to strengthen its team. This is in
addition to five promotions across the team, three of which are within the
senior team.
Harriet Middleton joins the company as Senior
Account Director from HAVAS Just, where she worked across a range of Healthcare
Communications and Public Relations programmes for UK and Global clients. Harriet
has a strong background in healthcare public affairs, and significant
experience in stakeholder relations, policy and patient advocacy.
Also bolstering the Pegasus pharma team is
Account Manager Emily Berrington who joins from Ashfield Healthcare
Communications sister agency Zoetic Science.
Additional new starters include: Senior
Account Executive, Jack Newton from Havas Health; Kate Gerrard, Account
Executive, former communications coordinator from Lighthouse Arts; Junior
Account Executive, Francesca McDaniel from Bell Pottinger; and Biology Graduate
Emma Fieldhouse as Junior Account Executive.
Jo Spadaccino, Director and Head of Pharma
& Life Sciences at Pegasus, commented: “It’s
been another year of growth for the business and we’ve seen a large proportion
of that growth coming from the Pharma & Life Sciences sector. We warmly
welcome the new members to our team and the collective skills they bring."
“The
expansion to our Macclesfield office last spring and our flexible working
approach has supported our expansion and enabled us to attract a wide range of
fantastic talent from right across the UK.”
The team has also been boosted with several
internal promotions. Kesha Tansey, Yasmin Ghariani and Megan Hollingdale have
all been promoted to Senior Account Director, strengthening Pegasus’ senior
team. In addition, further recent
promotions include Trystan George to Account Manager and Billy Johnson to
Senior Account Executive.
Jo Spadaccino continues, “Our success is dependent on our people and their passion to deliver
against our mission to inspire healthy decisions. We congratulate Kesha,
Yasmin, Megan, Trystan and Billy on their well-deserved promotions.”
Pegasus continues to look for new talent to
join its growing team. Anyone interested should contact careers@thisispegasus.co.uk.
