CBSA Perspective: "Roche site in Boulder to be sold, operated as Corden Pharma"

Quoting from the Alicia Wallace report in the Boulder Daily Camera:

"The 265-person Roche Colorado site in Boulder is expected to be sold to International Chemical Investors Group, officials for both companies announced Wednesday....

'What's nice is it's such a specialized technical facility' that Roche still needs, said Holli Reibel, president and CEO of the Colorado BioScience Association. 'And (Corden) might really bring more product to the plant, which is excellent for Colorado.'

More and more, Reibel added, biotech and pharmaceutical companies have made moves to focus on their core capabilities and have opted to outsource manufacturing efforts elsewhere -- sometimes overseas. Corden Pharma, being a large contract manufacturer with an international reach, should be a welcome addition to Colorado's bioscience community, she said."

DBJ Premium Content: "Working from home? - Be aware of liability issues before they sideline your business"

Quoting from the July 8th Denver Business Journal section, The Home Office:

“'It’s peace of mind,' Maggie Chamberlin Holben said of why she has liability coverage. Her insurance costs about $250 a year, and the home-based public relations consultant doesn’t have to worry if someone trips over her tripod while she’s recording video for a client...Holben has had clients, often those who receive state or federal funds, who require she carry liability insurance. She’s even gone so far as to get professional liability insurance, or an errors and omissions policy.

Her carrier requires that she indemnify herself in each contract, and the insurance is costly — several thousand dollars a year — but again, she said, it goes back to peace of mind."
