WREXHAM, WALES 9th May 2023– Ipsen Wrexham has been named as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces™ (2023) in the category of large organisations, by Great Place to Work®, the global authority on workplace culture. 

This prestigious award is based on employee feedback which revealed that 72% of those working at the Wrexham facility, known as Ipsen’s ‘neuroscience centre of excellence’ in the UK, considered it a great place to work. 

Ipsen Wrexham, which manufactures products that are exported to patients in over 90 countries, also scored highly for diversity, ethnicity, inclusion, promotion of physical and mental health, camaraderie, employee pride and comfort levels with job security.  Earlier in the year, it was lauded for consistently placing employee wellbeing at the heart of its workplace culture, being accredited as one of the Best Workplaces™ UK for Wellbeing.

I would like to thank every single one of them for all their contributions which, every day, advances our global mission to improve people’s lives and health outcomes – particularly in areas of high unmet need. It is their hard work that allows us to continually grow, creating new opportunities across the site, with current openings in Engineering, EHS, Manufacturing, Quality and Finance.”
