Clinical research firm Quintiles may be thinking about shifting its UK-base according to conflicting reports in the UK’s press last week.

The firm, which provides clinical research, data management and commercialisation services to drug industry clients, is headquartered in North Carolina, US, but runs its UK operations from Bracknell, Berkshire.

Various reports, including one on the UK’s Property Week website suggested that Quintiles had hired estate agent Cushman & Wakefield (C&W) to help search for new office space to allow it to consolidate its three Bracknell offices.

However, a conflicting article on the Reading Evening Posts’s getreading.com website quoted a (C&W) agent as saying that no such move was on the cards.
