Carling needed critical mass in Europe and Healthcircle needed a US partner. This is a great match and positions us to deliver integrated creative and medcomms solutions for clients on a truly global scale.” Mike Taylor , Managing Director of Healthcircle added, “We’ve been on the lookout for a partner to support our growth in the US whilst also providing us access to scientific and strategic talent. Healthcircle and Fishawack have already collaborated extensively and we’ve known and worked with many of the Carling team over our years in the business.” Gail Flockhart , Group Managing Director at Fishawack said, “All agencies are collections of people with different talents. What makes us different is the investment we make in establishing real chemistry between teams so that collaboration is fun and triggers new ideas. We’re still at a size where we can make this meaningful.” About the Fishawack Group The Fishawack Group of Companies is one of the largest independent medical communications specialists, with offices in the UK (Knutsford, Oxford, and Brighton), the USA (Philadelphia, PA, and San Diego, CA), Switzerland (Basel), and India (Hyderabad).
