Yorkshire’s science reputation attracts new businesses to innovation campus

Two businesses are expanding into Yorkshire’s National Agri-Food Innovation Campus and will use their new offices as Northern headquarters.

Symbiosis IP and FPCR are taking up tenancy at the site in Sand Hutton near York.

Operating in the life science industry, Symbiosis is a firm of patent attorneys, which has offices in Evesham and Cardiff, and specialise in protecting intellectual property and guiding bioscience organisations through the patenting process.

Derby-based FPCR, an environmental and integrated design company, will be working with planning authorities and statutory bodies in the region.

NAFIC is already home to a community of established organisations and new businesses across government, academia and industry.

The two businesses will join a growing list of life science tenants, including Fera, Covance and Abingdon Health.

Liz Cashon, innovation campus manager of NAFIC, said: “Our two new tenants add something new to NAFIC, further strengthening the amazing companies and work that is taking place in applied innovation and science here on the campus, and in the region. We are seeing an extraordinary level of innovation in our office and lab space.”
