The Brief:

To support the global fight against Covid-19 as well as other major infections and diseases, our client significantly scaled its operations in 2020 and 2021. The ramp-up of resources was focused mainly across its three major sites in Scotland but due to the significant growth Page Resourcing had to also deploy teams and resources across the world.
