Excerpt:
President Jeff Hargroves, who started the company in 2001 in his house in Fairway, said ProPharma still was getting work in 2008, especially as drug developers realized they could save money outsourcing the compliance and validation pieces of their business.

He and his fellow managers agreed to go without bonuses for a year, and the company held on to its workforce.“We decided we were going to bet on the future,” he said. “Our sales funnel looked good. Where a normal company would have laid off four or five people, we decided to suck it up. ...

It really paid off in the long term.”
