Shire is one of the world's leading specialty biopharmaceutical companies. The unique and often pioneering products we develop help people with life-altering conditions to lead better lives. In many cases this is because the conditions we treat are chronic, symptomatic diseases, where there is an immediate and positive impact from taking the treatment. Shire is a global company with offices in the major pharmaceutical markets. Its UK offices are in Basingstoke and its US offices are in Wayne, Pennsylvania.
