Last year, the company undertook major projects for Bayer, Boehringer Ingelheim, Eli Lilly, Johnson & Johnson, Meta, MSD, Pfizer and Sanofi. PM Group said it managed to expand across all its markets last year, with its Irish operations being “substantially ahead of budget” in revenue and earnings.
“The first quarter of 2022 has seen the strong momentum we had at the end of 2021 sustained,” Murphy said. “Notwithstanding economic and geopolitical issues, our multinational clients continue to invest major projects across key markets.”
Murphy said the company saw client investment increase by 54pc last year, while the group expanded its presence in the US and Europe with the opening of offices in Philadelphia and Frankfurt.
