11 February, 2014, RALEIGH, N.C. – PRA, a leading clinical research organization, today announced it has been named the 2014 “International Clinical Company of the Year” at the competition’s finals ceremony recently held in London. In addition, several PRA employees received individual honors.

Organized by PharmaTimes, the event named PRA “International Clinical Company of the Year” based on the total points earned by its employees’ performances in individual competitions. Eight PRA employees across six categories were invited to attend the in-person finals competition.

“The awards are a great reflection of our employees’ focus on quality and their passion for working through the drug development process to help bring safe and effective treatments to market that improve the quality of life for patients,” said PRA Executive Vice President of Product Registration – Europe, Asia Pacific, and Africa, Sean Leech. “Being named both International and U.S. Clinical Company of the Year is a global achievement that speaks to the level of commitment and dedication to our employees and customers.”
