Medical Solutions plc, a leading provider of expert, quality services and products to the healthcare, pharma biotech and life sciences research sectors, announces that it is proposing to change its name to Source BioScience plc.
The Board believes that the Company's existing name no longer reflects the broad portfolio of activities of the group, nor the nature of its business, and that Source BioScience plc is a more appropriate name for the Company.
The change of name is conditional on shareholder approval and the Company is sending a notice to shareholders convening a general meeting for 10.00am on Monday 10 March 2008 at the offices of the Company at 1 Orchard Place, Nottingham Business Park, Nottingham NG8 6PX.
