If spaghetti westerns were set in Bedfordshire, I’m certain that Hitchin is the kind of place Clint
Eastwood would ‘pass through’; alighting at the Millstream Bar, to stare menacingly at the locals. And this is precisely what I am doing, as the saloon doors fly open, revealing the towering figure of pharma marketing legend, Kate ‘Lara’ Croft.
JP Howdy Kate, what are you having?A decaf, please.
JP I don’t get it – that’s like taking heroin, without opium in it. If I drank coffee after four, I’d be dancing on the ceiling.
JP So, how’s it going? I’ve just had eleven days off with my children, Charlotte and George, so there hasn’t been a moment’s peace.
JP Hang on, Kate, George and Charlotte…what the… I can’t believe it either, but I got in there first – Charlotte is seven! Fortunately my husband is not called William.
JP Was there a moment in your childhood when you thought, ‘I fancy a crack at pharma’? No, I arrived in pharma purely by chance. I am a farmer’s daughter, and did a Batchelor of Science degree at Harper Adams Agricultural College, in Shropshire.
JP What’s it like living on a farm?You are different from ‘normal’ children – very isolated, and constantly surrounded by farmers. Farming is your life. I grew up on an arable farm, and now I’m living on a mixed farm, because I married a farmer.
Of course you did! It’s a comfort thing – it’s what I’ve always known. I must admit, I set out to marry a farmer – not necessarily the one I ended up with, but a farmer nevertheless!
JP If you don’t mind me saying, it doesn’t look like you’ve ever got your hands dirty. I’m quite happy being muddy, but this is me on a glamourous day. I also shoot.
JP You shoot things? I shoot pheasants and partridges, but we do eat them. It’s the simple life, and it’s better than getting meat from a supermarket, where battery chickens have been shoved in a shed, to fatten for a few weeks. The birds that have been reared on my father’s farm, enjoy a fantastic life for six months – they are fed, fly all day, have total freedom and die doing what they love.
JP You’ve convinced me. What was your first job after graduating? I went back home, to work for my father. As well as being a farmer, he’s a high-end fencing contractor. Among other celebrities, we carried out work on Madonna and Guy Richie’s Ashcombe House estate. I started running the office completely, after my father’s second wife walked out. It was a difficult situation and, although I tried to make it work, I decided to start looking in Farmers Weekly, for something else. As a result of the vacancy, my father duly met his third wife.
JP Where did you go? There was a perfect job for me – it was in agricultural marketing, and 20 minutes down the road. They’d interviewed 40 people before me, but I got

R oche has rejoined the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI)
as a full member. Mike Thompson, ABPI CEO, said that the trade association was “absolutely delighted” to see Roche join.
He added: “This is an exciting and critical time for the UK pharmaceutical industry as we face up to a number of challenges, in particular addressing life outside the European Union. It’s important that the ABPI can provide a coherent and aligned voice for our industry, which represents the views of companies large and small. Therefore, having the world’s largest biotech company sign up to full membership really is a boost and couldn’t have come at a more crucial time.”
Richard Erwin, General Manager, Roche Products, said: “We recognise how important it will be to collaborate with other companies, the NHS and healthcare professionals to ensure that UK patients can get access to world leading healthcare.”
Roche’s UK pharmaceutical business employs around 600 members of staff, to support global and local clinical trials. It is also the world’s largest biotech company and invests £6.6 billion in research and development every
year across oncology, immunology, infectious diseases and neuroscience.
With this recent addition, the ABPI now represents nine out of ten of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies.
A dozen NHS hospital trusts will pioneer new ways of using digital technology in the care of patients.
The trusts will be affectionately known as ‘digital exemplars’ and will receive up to £10 million each from NHS England.
It is hoped that the phased approach to digital implementation will inspire a revolution across the health service. It follows the recommendations of an independent review – published by health IT expert, Professor Bob Wachter – on how the NHS can use technology to improve services.
The 12 ‘digital exemplars’ will deliver a range of initiatives including real time video links between ambulances and emergency departments, electronic detection and alerting of patient deterioration.
The selected trusts are City Hospitals Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust, Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust, Salford Royal Hospitals NHS Trust, Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, Luton & Dunstable University Hospital NHS Trust, West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Taunton and Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust and University Hospitals Southampton NHS Foundation Trust.

it – it was just meant to be. It was a role as a marketing assistant for FAF – Farming and Agricultural Finance – a specialist mortgage company. After a while, it was bought up by RBS, and I was made redundant.
JP What did you do? One day an agency – RFA – came along to pitch for some new business. They were involved with both human and animal healthcare, as well as agriculture, and the two owners sat at the end of table, like Laurel and Hardy. They were absolute opposites, but both engaging, knowledgeable and funny. I sat there, completely entranced by everything they said. After leaving, I gave them half an hour to get back to the office, before phoning them, and requesting a job – which they offered me.
JP You’re an opportunist! They wanted me on the animal health and agricultural side – the company did focus groups, and I was well connected with ‘young farmers’. After a few years animal health went global, and the budgets got cut, so we had to be really creative. We worked with Pfizer Animal Health, and managed to get the rights to Garfield visuals. Imagine, the iconic Garfield image, in the middle of a very generic journal – it was majestic. Then I went over to the human side in 2005.
JP How did it go on the ol’ ‘human side’?RFA had some big hitters on the books – AstraZeneca, Servier and Roche – so it was a really creative period. At that time the minnows could compete with the sharks, but then procurement started to dominate. This partly inspired my move to London in 2006.
JP Laurel and Hardy must have been devastated. Rod and Martin tried to persuade me to stay, but I had to get away. Working in Farringdon at GSW was a shock to the system, because suddenly I was a number, within a huge global agency. I only lived in London for a few months.
I’m quite happy being muddy, but this is me on a glamourous day.
I also shoot.
JP Why? The place I was staying in was sold, and we were kicked out. Having moved all my possessions to London, I just didn’t fancy the hassle of finding somewhere else. I decided to move to Bedfordshire, and commute instead. That’s when I became my future husband’s lodger.
JP ‘My Future Husband’s Lodger’ – it sounds like a West End farce. The room he gave me was absolutely revolting.
JP I can see the attraction. Meanwhile, what exciting things were happening in London? Quite unexpectedly, I was suddenly made the director of the Lilly account. The brief was to take a diabetes pen and ‘make more of it’. Unfortunately, this had previously been taken too literally, and the result was a man ‘straddling’ an enormous diabetes pen. I had to go down to Lilly’s UK head office, in Basingstoke, and convince them to give us another shot.
JP Did you pull it out of the fire?I managed to turn it around with a subtle and classy campaign, which underlined the discreet nature of the product. They became my biggest clients, and I ended up launching Byetta, which was such an innovative and exciting product – it uses the hormone found in a Gila monster’s saliva.
JP Good Lord. What happened next.When I became pregnant, I left, and had no intention of coming back. When Charlotte was two, however, I was called by a recruitment consultant, on a bad day, so I took a position with Mass, where I spent a couple of years with Pfizer vaccines, during which I rolled out a nationwide flu vaccine campaign. Then I had my second child, resigned, and had no intention of returning to work.
JP You got a phone call on a bad day, didn’t you… Yes, I joined MJL, who recently won a PM Society Award for the
post-war nostalgia-inspired box for sales representatives. It was an amazing project to work on – when you get a chance to be creative, you have to grab it with both hands.
JP It’s been one hell of a career! Where are you now? Hug Advertising, in Hitchin. There are only seven of us, but what a bunch of people! There is never a negative response to a completely unrealistic deadline. We work with clients, such as Boehringer Ingelheim, Lilly, AMCo and Consilient, on everything, from traditional mailers, to apps and iDetails. I’m as happy here as I’ve ever been.
JP You deserve it. So long, Kate,Bye John!

MERG ERS & ACQUISITIONS
Pfizer’s dedication to Medivation Pfizer has agreed to buy U.S. cancer drug company Medivation for $14 billion cash.
The deal boosts the pharma giant’s oncology roster by including the blockbuster prostate cancer drug, Xtandi - worth $2.2 billion-a-year.
Sanofi initially bid to buy Medivation for $52.50 per share in April. Pfizer’s deal represents a 118% increase since Reuters reported that Medivation had hired JP Morgan, in March, to handle interest from companies in a potential acquisition.
The move comes four months after Pfizer and Allergan Plc abandoned plans for a merger worth $160 billion. The Medivation deal demonstrates how Pfizer is strengthening its branded drugs portfolio, especially profitable cancer treatments. Its biggest growth driver is a new breast cancer drug, Ibrance.
Pfizer Chief Executive Ian Read said that the Medivation deal was mainly driven by the desire to obtain Xtandi, which generated U.S. net sales of $330.3 million in the second quarter. He also expressed high expectations for Medivation’s experimental drugs for breast cancer and lymphoma – talazoparib and pidilizumab respectively.
The deal has been approved by both boards and, according to Pfizer, should be completed in the third or fourth quarter.
ZIK A VIRUS
Tapeworm treatment could zap Zika A treatment for tapeworm is among a number of existing drug compounds that could tackle transmission of the Zika virus. A team of researchers from Florida State University (FSU), Johns Hopkins University (JHU) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have discovered existing drug compounds that can stop Zika from replicating in the body, and from damaging the foetal brain cells that lead to birth defects in newborn babies.
FSU Professor of Biological Science, Hengli Tang, along with JHU Professors Guo-Li Ming and Hongjun Song, and NIH scientist Wei Zheng, identified two different groups of compounds. One stops the virus from replicating and the other stops the virus from killing foetal brain cells.
Prof Tang said: “We focused on compounds that have the shortest path to clinical use. This is a first step toward a therapeutic that can stop transmission of this disease.” One of the identified compounds is the basis for a U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved drug called Nicolsamide, commonly used to treat tapeworm. The drug showed no danger to pregnant women in the studies.
C hiesi Farmaceutici has presented data from the long-term TRILOGY and TRINITY studies at the Congress of the European Respiratory Society (ERS) in London.
The TRILOGY study – which shows one-year data on the superior efficacy of the first extra fine formulation fixed ICS/LABA/LAMA triple combination for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) treatment compared with standard dual therapy – provides support for the triple combination inhaler.
It will treat long-term COPD and is specifically formulated to deliver extra-fine particles to the lung. The results of a second pivotal trial, the TRINITY study, were also presented during the congress, providing evidence of the superiority of ICS/LABA/LAMA also against LAMA alone.

The co-founders of Polleo Pharma, have joined Chronos Therapeutics as VPs, Pre-Clinical Development. Both former directors of Shire, they will apply their substantial scientific management expertise to three pre-clinical research programmes recently acquired by the private biotech company. These will be focused on ageing diseases, brain and nervous system disorders.
Moving into any new role, you tend to reflect on what you have achieved to get there. Looking back at my time as an Account Director I was often asked by colleagues “What is the key to your success?” Without doubt, having a great product and a wonderful team are important, however, the main differentiator between good and great has undoubtedly been my relationships with customers. And this is just as true with customers in the NHS!
So here are my top tips for building meaningful relationships with your customers:1) Flex Your Style: When you meet a customer for the first time look for the behavioural cues that will help you recognise their preferred style. This allows you to better match their preferences, by being more versatile in your behaviours. It also builds a rapport and creates stronger partnerships.2) Second Position: 'Step into the shoes' of your customers, look to really understand their world and, importantly, how they perceive it. Their perception will be very different to yours! 3) Actively Listen: Notice the language and phrases your customers use so you can reflect this back to them when you are presenting. It says to the customer ‘I speak your language’.4) Exceed Expectations: Agree realistic actions and always aim to be 2–3 days ahead of the deadline. This makes the customer feel valued and proves that you are trustworthy.Use these to develop meaningful relationships and customer loyalty will follow.
