The Benefit <\/h2>\n

Working with Leyton has meant Gerco Fas are more educated about what they could be eligible for. At first, the client didn\u2019t beliece they could benefit from the scheme as they thought it would be restricted to pharma companies developing new drugs\/medicine. In terms of man hours, the work from the key POC on the client side was around 6 hours of input and half an hour for their support staff. After the successful claim, the financial benefit of the scheme was over six figures for the client.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
