UK pharma industry association the ABPI has promoted Alison Clough to commercial and communications director.

She moves into the new role following the departures last month of David Lewis, director of corporate affairs, and David Fisher, commercial director.

In her new role, Alison will be responsible for both the commercial and communications functions at the ABPI, and for co-ordinating the work of the Association’s four work streams around Value, Innovation, Trust and Access (VITA).

Director general Richard Barker said: “A great deal of effort has gone into the VITA work streams since they were started last year and a huge amount has been achieved, from the Prime Minister’s summit to the Office for Life Sciences Blueprint to the Patent Box and the Innovation Pass.

“Part of this new role will be to ensure all of our different stakeholders, especially our members, are aware of the number of things we are doing on behalf of industry.”

Alison joined the ABPI in May 2009 from Innovex where she held a series of top management roles, including running their UK business. Before that she spent 15 year GlaxoSmithKline.
