Chris Broom, Discovery Park

Cummins chose Discovery Park for its location, its facilities, and potential for collaboration with other resident tenants. The site works well for our Cummins colleagues as it offers us the opportunity to work together, flexibly and to focus. We are excited to see how Discovery Park will continue to grow, and for our company to be a part of that development.

Adam Sidders , Marketing Communications Director

Discovery Park’s lab facilities are outstanding with the all-important containment facilities we need. There is plenty of space available for us to expand making it the ideal location in which to grow. We have also benefited from being part of a vibrant community of life science companies based at the site. I highly recommend Discovery Park to any business looking for top-quality lab facilities and outstanding support.

James Steggles , Founder & Director

Discovery Park offered us a state-of-the-art facility, CAT-2 Lab, to work in during Covid 19 crisis, when all the rest of the labs were closed. They are instrumental in our growth, survival, and company profitability. Since we moved to Discovery Park, we have managed to generate profits in our business and become the leading analytical lab offering acrylamide reduction strategies from farm to fork for UK and EU food manufacturers. The facilities in Discovery Park are excellent; the service is fast and effective and could accommodate and facilitate fast-growing companies at any stage of their development, including building and creating custom-made facilities such as labs, warehouses and factories.
