Liverpool Science Park sees new firms, expansions and top promotions

There are new firms, expansions and top promotions during what's been a busy few months at Liverpool Science Park (LSP).

It's all come since Sciontec Liverpool took the reins at the city's Knowledge Quarter site in March, and new customers moving in include Innovation Agency, which has taken a 1,054 sq ft space, and XMA Investments, with Liverpool Health Partners, StrucSoft Solutions and BioGrad all expanding within the estate.

Land opened a pop-up coffee shop at the end of last year, and LSP said it continues to grow within the reception of Innovation Centre 1 (ic1) and is an "unprecedented success".

Innovation Agency chief executive, Dr Liz Mear, said: "We are looking forward to working more closely with our partners in Liverpool Science Park, in particular the Clinical Research Network North West Coast and Liverpool Health Partners.

"I believe that being co-located will bring many benefits, connecting staff in relevant programmes and providing lots of opportunities to share ideas and find new ways of working together for the benefit of the region."

Three new promotions have also been announced by CEO of Sciontec and Knowledge Quarter Liverpool, Colin Sinclair.

Leanne Katsande is now head of commercial, Philippa Lee is head of asset management and most recently, Emma O’Hara has been promoted to senior finance manager.

Speaking on behalf of Sciontec Liverpool, Mr Sinclair, said: “The team at LSP have responded brilliantly to the challenges of the last few months, working tirelessly with their Sciontec and KQ Liverpool colleagues to secure these new lettings and expansions.

“Their passion for success, whilst being absolutely focused on customer service and bringing new amenity to the buildings is infectious and makes LSP a great place to work.”

LSP said further "big announcements" are expected in the coming weeks, and it's likely that the three LSP buildings, totalling 120,000 sq ft, will near full occupancy for the first time in its history.
