Phlexglobal is celebrating a triple success after three of its Clinical Trial Administrators (CTA) took first, second and third places at the PharmaTimes Clinical Researcher of the Year 2008 awards.

The three Phlexglobal CTAs - Jenna Ashley, Nicky Hooker and Nicola Rand - collected their awards in the Clinical Trial Administrator of the Year 2008 category at the glittering awards ceremony at the InterContinental in London last week.

More than 800 entries from 39 countries were received for the CTA of the Year category including Phlexglobal finalist Kelly Greer and winners Jenna, Nicky and Nicola. All four of the Phlexglobal finalists are currently working in clinical research positions within large pharmaceutical companies, uniquely managed as part of Phlexglobal's client insourced team.

Nicola Murgatroyd, Phlexglobal's founder and chief executive officer is delighted with the wins. She said: "To have three of our CTAs in the top three and another as one of the 10 finalists is a fantastic achievement for them and testimony to Phlexglobal's resourcing strategies and training and mentoring programme."

Phlexglobal is the market leader in the resource and recruitment of CTAs and their related roles. The three award winners have all been trained and have developed their skills with Phlexglobal in order to provide a competent and valuable service to their employees.

Nicola added: "Our three winners Jenna, Nicky, and Nicola were first introduced into the clinical research industry and the role of the CTA through our recruitment programme. I am thrilled the training and development opportunities and support we have given them has resulted in this success."
