GlaxoWellcome and Allen and Hanbury are all part of GlaxoSmithkline, which was formed a few years ago from the merger between glaxoWellcome and SmithklineBeecham.

Proctor and Gamble

these are just a few of the bigger pharma firms that I can think of. There are also literally millions of smaller scale start up research companies out there.

LGC limited
Central Science Laboratory
Covance

Are you talking Pharmaceutical or Research? the Pharmacueticals do do research, but most of their data is 'top secret' and 'Commercial in Confidence' so isn't out in the public domain. For true 'research' organisations, look at MRC, CRUK, BBSRC, PPARC, etc.
