When did Shire drop the Richwood name? Saw a Frontline documentary from 2001 and they were calling themselves Shire Richwood. I only ever see them referred to as Shire now.
 






The company was originally Richwood Pharma - believe it or not that was the Street that one of the Principles lived on. They then were bought by Shire, stayed Shire-Richwood for a few years when they only had adderall and carbatrol, then after another acquisition they just went by Shire.

After Roberts acquisition, there were briefly 2 salesforces, Shire-Richwood (CNS) and Shire-Roberts (GI). I was part of the original Richwood group. Great time!
