Synovate Healthcare Opens in Canada

Synovate Healthcare has extended its operations to Canada, with the opening of a Toronto office headed by healthcare specialist Otto Akkerman.

The new office will offer ad hoc and syndicated research services to the Canadian healthcare and pharmaceutical markets. Akkerman was previously SVP at Maritz Research, and before this SVP at Decima Research and VP at Gadd Research. He is also a published author of a variety of articles focusing on healthcare business intelligence and market strategy.

Commented CEO Michael Spedding: 'Canada is an important pharmaceutical market and our expansion here will enable us to offer global resources and local knowledge to Canadian clients. With the benefit of Otto's extensive experience, we will be able to offer first-rate services to domestic and international clients alike.'

Synovate Healthcare is the global specialist healthcare market research arm of Synovate, employing 500+ healthcare market research professionals across Europe, US, Canada, Asia Pacific and Japan. In July, the company opened an office in Istanbul (www.mrweb.com/drno/news7111.htm ), and in February opened for business in Germany with the launch of a Hamburg office (www.mrweb.com/drno/news6424.htm ).
