Lorraine Rogers, chief executive of The Mersey Partnership, said: "Bristol-Myers Squibb is a world-class business operating in a global market. Their investment in Wirral is highly significant for the region's bio-medical sector."

Wirral Council leader Councillor Steve Foulkes said: "The strength of Wirral's research and development sector is a crucial part of our enterprise and employment plans for the future.

"Bristol-Myers Squibb is a long-standing and high profile employer in Wirral and I am proud of the work Invest Wirral has done to help secure this important investment. Dr Timmins is a great advocate for Wirral and I'm sure this investment was secured in no small part because of his passion for the borough and the region as a whole."
