EDIT: Oh IQVIA Ltd used to be Quintiles. How very interesting. I used to work for one of their competitor companies back in the 1990's - 2000's before I quit the permie life.

Haha - Ghost, im afraid that indeed was my concern. Retro Inspection!
@ladymuck - Yes, IQVIA used be Quintiles. Quintiles merged with a company called IMS Health to form QuintilesIMS and then I think last year QuintilesIMS changed to IQVIA.

Why would you care?Originally posted by cheeseflan View PostHello fellow contractors!
Need peoples opinions here. I used to work for a client called IQVIA Biotech under a PSC for a period of up to 2 years. Now ive been offered the same role from another client called IQVIA this year, with whom I plan to work for under an Umbrella if I accept the gig.
After some research, it looks like IQVIA biotech is a seperate division/business unit to IQVIA. When looking at companies house, they appear to have their own LTD profiles, however the registered address is the same and so are the shareholders.
IQVIA LTD. - Overview (free company information from Companies House)
IQVIA BIOTECH LTD. - Overview (free company information from Companies House)
Both clients have their own websites, but IQVIA have a CEO and looking on their website under their leadership team, IQVIA biotech has their president listed there (not a CEO).
To me, i would consider them the same client....What are your thoughts folks? Same client or diff client (mind you whilst working for IQVIA Biotech, on my bank statements i used to receive payments from "IQVIA Biotech LTD" and not the parent company "IQVIA LTD".)
Please don’t say retro investigations?
