The fitout includes a significant design change transforming two single labs and an office with lab space into one large open plan space to enable greater collaboration between teams. There will also be fitouts of specialised rooms, including soundproofed rooms to house loud equipment.

Cargill will also be taking over 5,000 sq ft of office space next month.

Staff range from customer service and regulatory teams to synthesis and application scientists.

Ian Hobday, global research and development director at Cargill, said: “We knew as we emerged from the pandemic and began to work from the office more, we needed a space that would allow us to innovate and collaborate with, and for, our customers.

"With this move to York Biotech Campus, we are also joining a community and network of other innovative and scientific companies based here.”
