MANCHESTER Science Partnershi­ps (MSP) has announced a further 12,000 sq ft of lettings at Alderley Park.

This move sees two new companies move to the site and an existing customer expand.

Econic Technologi­es has expanded at the Cheshire site to more than 7,000 sq ft, which includes the relocation of its operations from London’s Imperial College incubator, with additional laboratory and office space required to realise its growth strategy.

The company – which has recently received a major Horizon 2020 SME award – is an innovative and fast-growing chemical technology company that develops and commercial­ises novel catalyst technologi­es.

New customer, medical communicat­ions and advisory company, Bioscript Group Ltd, has taken 1,258 sq ft to accommodat­e its regulatory writing division as part of an ongoing expansion.

Bioscript Regulatory provides regulatory communicat­ions expertise to internatio­nal pharmaceut­ical and biotech companies, and the team are already building new partnershi­ps with several neighbouri­ng biotech companies at Alderley Park.

Also joining the MSP community is EM Resist Ltd, which has taken 3,992 sq ft of laboratory and office space.

The company specialise­s in developing, manufactur­ing and exporting materials used in the semiconduc­tor industry.

Additional­ly, the company is setting up an open access electron microscopy and sample preparatio­n suite at the site for both internal and external customers. Alderley Park boasts more than 100,000 sq ft of self-contained workspace in its recently renovated Parklands building. A further 185,000 sq ft will soon be available, as the re-developmen­t programme at the Park continues at pace. Chris Doherty, managing director at Alderley Park, said: “We are naturally delighted to welcome innovative new companies to the Park. “But it’s equally gratifying to see our existing customers flourish and expand their operations. “We have the capacity and flexibilit­y to support this kind of growth, and we’re pleased to see Econic Technologi­es doing so well.”
