Solace Pharmaceuticals
With its American office in Boston, Solace Pharmaceuticals is a privately owned organisation which researches and develops innovative pain relief treatments. The company approached investment promotion agency Locate in Kent for assistance in finding suitable commercial property and subsequently moved four employees to The Denne Hill Business Centre in Womenswold, near Canterbury. The company expects to create seven further jobs in the county within three years.
Dr Eliot Forster, Chief Executive at Solace Pharmaceuticals, said: Kent is an ideal location for pharmaceutical companies thanks to its pool of well qualified and experienced staff. East Kent is a reasonably priced to set up a business and its proximity to the continent also means we are able to tap into markets in Europe and the rest of the UK.
"Solace hopes to create a biotech hub in Kent and have received a great deal of support for our project from the local community - the pharma sector in Kent is growing and evolving - it's certainly an area to watch for the future."
