Major Jobs Boost For The UK As Leading Pharmaceutical Companies Announce Big Investment<\/b>
\nMore than 1,700 jobs are set to be created in the UK by two pharmaceutical giants, the Government has announced as it unveiled its new industrial strategy.<\/p>\n

Life sciences company MSD has agreed to open a new life sciences discovery research facility in the UK, supporting a total of 950 jobs in high-skilled and high-value research roles.<\/p>\n

Additionally, diagnostics company QIAGEN will expand its Manchester presence \u2013 a move which could see the creation of 800 skilled jobs.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes a week after the European Medicines Agency and European Banking Authority both decided to quit London because of the Brexit vote \u2013 meaning the loss of more than 1,000 skilled jobs from the UK.<\/p>\n

Announcing the new investment, Business Secretary Greg Clark said: \u201cMSD\u2019s commitment today, and the wider Sector Deal investment we have secured, proves the process outlined in the Industrial Strategy can give companies the confidence and direction they need to invest in the UK.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will ensure Britain continues to be at the forefront of innovation and represents a huge vote of confidence in our Industrial Strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n

MSD\u2019s Research Laboratories president Dr. Roger M. Perlmutter said of the investment: \u201cStrong discovery capabilities and the pursuit of scientific excellence are foundational to MSD\u2019s mission to save and improve lives around the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cA new UK location will enable us to build on our proud legacy of invention and be an important contributor to the vibrant and rapidly growing UK life sciences community, while providing access for more collaborations within the European life science ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Industrial Strategy will outline the Government\u2019s plan to address the UK\u2019s underlying productivity challenge, with a focus on five key foundations: Ideas, People, Infrastructure, Business Environment, Places.<\/p>\n

Less than a week ago the Office for Budget Responsibility revised down its projections for the UK\u2019s growth, with low productivity levels highlighted as a reason for the sluggish economy.<\/p>\n

Hands said: \u201cBritain\u2019s productivity performance has not been good enough, and is holding back our earning power as a country.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo this Industrial Strategy deliberately strengthens the five foundations of productivity: ideas, people, infrastructure, business environment and places.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy acting together as a nation, and in a sustained way, to improve the underperforming conditions for productivity we can drive up our earning power.\u201d<\/p>\n

HuffPost UK approached Labour for a reaction, but no one from the press team responded to our request for a comment.
