Tenant for new Moorings at Malin House

New flexible workspace, developed at the European Marine Science Park (EMSP) at Dunstaffnage, has welcomed its first tenant.

Norwegian company PatoGen’s focuses on the provision of fish health services to the aquaculture industry.

With so much attention on the health of the oceans and farmed fish as a sustainable source of food, PatoGen has found the Moorings an ideal facility close to many other activities in Scotland’s aquaculture sector.

The Moorings has been developed by Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) in Malin House to give marine-related businesses the opportunity to locate at the EMSP on a flexible, short-term basis.

PatoGen key account manager Teresa Garzon said: ‘This is a great opportunity for PatoGen to get a foothold in this renowned location for marine expertise and to join the thriving cluster of innovative marine-based businesses working in Malin House.’

Morag Goodfellow of HIE added: ‘The workplace is changing as technology continues to offer increased mobility and flexibility. The Moorings will offer not only a modern work base, but also the chance to enjoy collaborating with other marine researchers and companies already on the site.’

HIE commissioned Anchorpoint Interiors to fit out the work spaces.
