Before returning to Simpson Carpenter, Basden-Smith was global research lead at The Planning Shop and has more than 20 years’ experience in pharmaceutical research.

Basden-Smith said: “The healthcare team has gone from strength to strength in my time away.

“I am excited about the opportunities to work among the super smart and intrepid people at Simpson Carpenter.”
