Went to Winthrop-Breon, Winthrop, Sanofi Winthrop, Nycomed, Nycomed Amersham and Amersham Health before the GE buyout which ended my career in 2005. I remember a sales meeting in 2001 when they went to the Amersham Health name ... one of the home office honchos was telling us we were getting a new name but don't worry, nothing changes.
