As a former pharmaceutical sales rep I am delighted that Pfizer have withdrawn their takeover bid for Astra-Zeneca.

My experience in this field (including A-Z)) prompts me to say that their intention to move to Cambridge would not be best served by a merger with a foreign party.

It would now seem that A-Z’s Cambridge workforce will be relatively safe, at least for the foreseeable future.
