Ms Banks, said the firm’s focus on its niche specialism, as an agency for companies in the pharmaceutical and biotech supply chain, is driving its success.
She said: “Not only does this enable us to focus our resources and offer our clients a level of unrivalled support as they navigate the space, but we are also very fortunate to have chosen a market which is buoyant and only continuing to grow.
“I think if you were to ask our clients, on the other hand, they would say that, while sector knowledge plays a huge role, our success and growth is also down to our responsiveness, our ability to deliver tangible commercial results and our vibrant, experienced team who clients love working with.
“As we grow, our aim is to have more hubs in key geographic locations to better serve our clients. We want to be right there in the thick of it; meeting and supporting clients where they are, immersing ourselves in key biotech or pharma hotspots and acquiring the best talent from across the world.
“We are currently at the research stage but, once that is complete, we will be looking to fix a timescale in which we will announce our plans.
“We have long-term plans to set up more bases globally. At the moment, due to the geography of our clients, we think that West Coast USA and Asia will be two likely possibilities.
Founder Mr Sehgal now lives in Boston, US, after relocating to the States to launch the company’s American office.
