Commenting on the announcement that GSK is investing £275m in three manufacturing plants across the UK, including in Hertfordshire, Steve White, director at Grant Thornton’s St Albans Space, commented: “This is a great vote of confidence in the UK economy post Brexit and is good news for the local economy here in Hertfordshire.
“Whilst the decision to leave the EU creates some uncertainty for GSK in terms of the regulatory environment, this announcement is testament to the underlying strength of the UK as a centre of excellence for pharmaceuticals with a highly skilled workforce. It also demonstrates GSK’s commitment to their UK manufacturing base.
“Hertfordshire’s economy has seen strong growth in recent years with significant job creation. This investment by GSK will help the county continue this positive trend.”
