We assist pharmaceutical clients to seize new opportunities, respond to rapid change and remain competitive in a market that is constantly evolving 

This vital sector has never experienced a more challenging time. Pharmaceutical companies must accelerate R&D and upscale production in order to meet urgent demand for new vaccines, develop treatments for an ageing global population and deliver on the promise of personalized medicine, all while transforming their operations for a digital world. 

From drug discovery to commercial scale 

WSP provides interdisciplinary services to pharmaceutical clients that encompass consultancy, design, engineering, project and construction management, commissioning and validation, as well as environmental impact assessment and mitigation. Our teams are experts in process engineering, and in delivering facilities to support every stage of the leap from cutting-edge science to full-scale commercial manufacture.  

Flexible, compliant solutions 

We are proud to work with many multinationals, as well as renowned research institutes, and we embrace collaboration with clients and project partners to find tailored, flexible, compliant solutions. Many of us joined WSP from the pharmaceutical sector, so we have first-hand knowledge not only of its complexities but the vital importance of meeting rigorous quality standards and getting new products to those in need as safely and as quickly as possible. 

Local solutions backed by global expertise 

With a global pharmaceutical network spanning 17 time zones, we can provide guidance on local regulations and context wherever you are, backed by deep technical knowledge and international best practice. Where necessary, we can also draw on a diverse range of complementary specialisms from related sectors – for example, laboratory planning, working with healthcare clients to anticipate future trends, or supporting industry clients to minimize the environmental impact of their operations and achieve the transition to net zero.
