Almac Group has appointed David Taylor as Head of Manufacturing Operations.
Taylor joined the Almac Group in November 2017 as Head of Manufacturing, Almac Sciences, tasked with the overall accountability for small molecule API and peptide manufacturing in Craigavon and delivering Almac’s science supply chain operations at the Northern Ireland site.
