Our History


PMGroup is almost unrecognisable from the business that began 20 years ago.

Set up in 1988 by Mark Savage, Ethical Publications Ltd, has grown into a successful, privately owned company providing information to the pharmaceutical industry in the UK, Europe and the US.

At every stage of the journey, the PMGroup team ask fundamental questions: Is there a customer need?  Is the market currently confused or badly served? What are the competitors doing? How can we add value? How will this development interact with other areas of our business?

Quality products, high standards, attention to detail, a reputation for integrity and delivering on promises have all helped the company to develop unrivalled access to the industry's innovators, movers and shakers.

Now with an ever-expanding portfolio, of publications, awards schemes and live events, as well as highly successful online offering, the company has come a long way and has a loyal and ever growing customer base. The company most recently brought all its brands under the single brand identity of PMGroup…
