Positive rebrand for Sci-Tech Daresbury

The Daresbury Science and Innovation Campus has undergone a rebrand after becoming an Enterprise Zone and is now known as Sci-Tech Daresbury.

The change coincides with an extensive survey that profiled 84 of the 113 high-tech companies on site, which reported a combined turnover of £28m last year, despite the economic downturn, with two thirds reporting significant business growth. Sixty two full time positions were created on site in 2011 and tenant companies are also forecasting recruitment of a further 60 people in 2012.

The survey also revealed that investment in Sci-Tech Daresbury businesses also rose substantially last year, with companies securing a total of £75 million from a number of primarily private sources, a rise of £10.7 million on investment in 2010.

Sci-Tech Daresbury is one of only two National Science and Innovation Campuses in the UK, providing companies with access to world-class science facilities, and includes STFC’s Daresbury Laboratory which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.

The site, which took on Enterprise Zone status in April this year, is set to expand over the next twenty years to become a ‘technology village’ which will deliver as many as 15,000 highly skilled jobs and attract new international technology businesses to the North West.
