Sharp Clinical Services (UK) Ltd, which provides global clinical trial services, is relocating from its current facilities in Crickhowell which are at full capacity and investing in the upgrading and fit\-out of much larger premises in Rhymney.


The investment is backed by £500,000 business finance from the Welsh Government which ensured the expansion went ahead in Wales as another location in the Midlands was under consideration.


Economy Secretary Ken Skates said: 



> “This is a significant expansion project for the life sciences sector in Wales and will effectively embed a large international healthcare plc in Wales, boosting our growing reputation as a key location for pharma service companies. 
> 
> 
> “I am delighted Welsh Government support helped secure this major investment for Wales that will create a range of skilled employment opportunities for local people and also bring a disused industrial building back into economic use.”


Sharp UK’s base in Crickhowell is the European hub of the Group’s clinical services division and provides global clinical trial services including supplies, drug formulation, manufacturing, packaging, distribution and commercial packaging.


It is currently located in two separate buildings on Elvicta Business Park providing 45,000 sq. ft. of accommodation which is at full capacity with no room to expand and take on new business.


The expansion will enable the company to compete for major clinical and commercial packaging contracts with large pharmaceutical companies. The initial phase of the project will involve the acquisition and renovation of a 75,000 sq ft facility \- part of a 108,000 sq ft space within a ten acre site providing space for future expansion and potentially further jobs. 


Wales’ Skills and Science Minister, Julie James said: 



> “Over the last few years the Welsh Government has invested millions in supporting Life Sciences in Wales and as one of our key priority sectors we are keen to see this important area grow even more.
> 
> 
> “In Wales, the sector currently employs around 11,000 people in over 360 companies and its worth circa £2bn to the Welsh economy and we are committed to enhancing this further and building Wales’ STEM skills capabilities and capacity.
> 
> 
> “This expansion is welcome news for the sector, the local community and the wider Welsh economy and shows how Wales’ healthcare and biotech industries are going from strength to strength.”


Frank Lis, President of Sharp Clinical Services, said about the development, 



> “We have always felt that a critical part of the services we offer is the expertise of our teams. This new facility will allow us to grow both the Sharp team in Wales to support current business and to expand our clinical services portfolio to new customers, at a larger scale”.

Mae Sharp Clinical Services (UK) Ltd, sy’n darparu gwasanaethau treialu clinigol rhyngwladol, yn symud o’i ganolfan bresennol yng Nghrugywel gan nad oes digon o le yno mwyach. Mae’r cwmni’n buddsoddi i ailwampio a dodrefnu safle llawer mwy yn nhref Rhymni. 

Fel hwb i’r buddsoddiad, mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn neilltuo £500,000 o gyllid busnes i sicrhau bod y cwmni’n ehangu yng Nghymru yn hytrach nag yng Nghanolbarth Lloegr, a oedd hefyd o dan ystyriaeth.

Meddai Ysgrifennydd yr Economi, Ken Skates: 


> “Mae hwn yn brosiect ehangu mawr yn sector y gwyddorau bywyd yng Nghymru.  Bydd cwmni gofal iechyd rhyngwladol mawr yn bwrw gwreiddiau yng Nghymru, gan feithrin ein henw da fel lleoliad da ar gyfer cwmnïau gwasanaethau fferyllol. 
> 
> “Rwy’n falch iawn bod cymorth gan Lywodraeth Cymru wedi helpu i sicrhau bod y buddsoddiad mawr hwn yn cael ei wneud yng Nghymru gan greu amrywiaeth o gyfleoedd gwaith da i bobl leol a dod â bywyd newydd i hen adeilad diwydiannol segur.”

Cartref presennol Sharp UK yng Nghrugywel yw canolfan adran gwasanaethau clinigol y Grŵp yn Ewrop lle cynhelir gwasanaethau treialu clinigol rhyngwladol ar gyfer cyflenwadau, creu cyffuriau, gweithgynhyrchu, pacio, dosbarthu a phecynnau masnachol. 

Mae canolfan y cwmni ar hyn o bryd wedi’i rhannu rhwng dau adeilad ym Mharc Busnes Elvicta lle ceir 45,000 tr sg o le.  Mae’r unedau nawr yn llawn ac nid oes lle i ehangu nac i gymryd rhagor o waith. 

Ond gyda’r prosiect ehangu, bydd y cwmni’n gallu cystadlu am gontractau pacio clinigol a masnachol mawr â chwmnïau fferyllol mawr.  Fel rhan gyntaf y prosiect, caiff cyfleuster 75,000 tr sg ei brynu a’i adnewyddu – rhan o adeilad 108,00 tr sg.  ar safle deg erw a fydd â lle ynddo i ehangu eto yn y dyfodol ac i greu rhagor o swyddi. 

Dywedodd Gweinidog Sgiliau a Gwyddoniaeth Cymru, Julie James: 


> “Dros yr ychydig flynyddoedd diwethaf, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi buddsoddi miliynau o bunnau i gefnogi’r Gwyddorau Bywyd yng Nghymru ac fel un o’n prif sectorau blaenoriaeth, rydyn ni’n awyddus i weld y maes pwysig hwn yn tyfu eto. 
> 
> “Yng Nghymru, mae’r sector yn cyflogi tua 11,000 o bobl mewn rhagor na 360 o gwmnïau ac yn werth tua £2bn i economi Cymru. Rydym yn benderfynol o weld hwn yn cynyddu ac o feithrin sgiliau, galluoedd a chapasiti Cymru ym maes Gwyddoniaeth, Technoleg, Peirianneg a Mathemateg (STEM). 
> 
> “Mae’r prosiect yn newyddion da i’r sector, y gymuned leol ac i economi ehangach Cymru ac mae’n dangos sut mae diwydiannau gofal iechyd a biodechnoleg Cymru’n mynd o nerth i nerth.”

Dywedodd Frank Lis, Llywydd Sharp Clinical Services, am y datblygiad: 


> “Rydyn ni wastad wedi credu bod arbenigedd ein timau’n rhan hanfodol o’r gwasanaethau rydyn ni’n eu cynnig.  Bydd y cyfleuster newydd hwn yn caniatáu inni ehangu tîm Sharp yng Nghymru i helpu’r busnes, a hefyd i ehangu ein portffolio o wasanaethau clinigol i gwsmeriaid newydd.”

Mae Sharp Clinical Services (UK) Ltd yn rhan o adran Sharp Packaging Services UDG Healthcare plc, cwmni rhyngwladol blaenllaw sy’n darparu gwasanaethau clinigol, masnachol, cyfathrebu a phacio i’r diwydiant gofal iechyd.  Mae’n cyflogi dros 7,000 o bobl mewn 23 o wledydd ac yn darparu gwasanaethau i fwy na 50 o wledydd.
