Celltech Group plc was a leading British-based biotechnology business based in Slough. It was listed on the London Stock Exchange and was a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index.

History

The Company was founded by Gerard Fairtlough in 1980 with finance from the National Enterprise Board.[1]

In 1999 the Company led consolidation in the UK biosciences market merging with Chiroscience plc, after which it was briefly referred to as Celltech Chiroscience,[2][3] and then buying Medeva plc.[4] Then in 2000 it bought Cistron, a US biosciences business.[5] It expanded into Germany in 2001 buying Thiemann, a German biosciences business,[6] and went on to buy Oxford Glycosciences in July 2003 for £102m.[7] Celltech was acquired by UCB, a Belgian drugmaker, in 2004.[8] Since then it has been known as UCB Celltech.
