With summer in Europe a wash-out this year and stock markets jittery worldwide, September and October will be key months for creating confidence in the life science sector. At Northbank, we have been gearing up over a very busy summer. We are pleased to have signed up a number of new clients over the past few months (see New Biz) and to have completed some impressive projects for existing clients across our corporate, financial and marketing communications practices. As specialists in the life science sector, Northbank's communications programmes can help build long-term value by combining creativity, market knowledge, strategic thinking and effective execution. If we can help you in any way, we look forward to hearing from you.
