SCIONTEC COLLABORATES WITH BRUNTWOOD SCITECH

Colin Sinclair, Chief Executive of Sciontec, discusses the firm’s new collaboration with Bruntwood SciTech, which aims to offer the best choice of workspace and laboratory accommodation in the city region.

When business owners search for a new location to start, grow or diversify their organisation, they often find themselves torn between the quality of a property, the strength of its location and the level of service and amenity on offer. For new entrants into a market, this challenge can be more acute as they try to understand the landscape and find not only their physical space, but also their ‘place’ in the wider ecosystem.

We’ve long understood this challenge, so we always work with potential customers to understand what makes them tick and how a new workspace could contribute to their longer-term ambitions. It’s all about helping businesses to make positive choices, and understanding that you can’t have too many good options.

To further expand those options, we’ve begun a unique collaboration with our friends at Bruntwood SciTech, which owns and operates The Plaza, Cotton Exchange and Cotton House.

Buildings such as Liverpool Science Park and Sciontec AI at The Spine, as well as the planned HEMISPHERE One and Two, will each have their own unique characteristics and thriving micro-communities, but they also share a culture where businesses can collaborate, explore and develop their professional networks. We work hard to cultivate this every day and we see the same approach reflected in Bruntwood SciTech’s buildings.

Our new partnership means businesses can now access a full range of available space, from a newly-refurbished office in the Commercial District, to a state-of-the-art laboratory in the Knowledge Quarter, all via a single enquiry. They have the city at their fingertips.

Existing customers can also benefit from this broader reach. If, for example, you’re headquartered in The Plaza, but want to diversify into a lab or research space at Liverpool Science Park, you can now do that more seamlessly.

Ultimately, we hope this more flexible, collaborative approach will help the city region to attract a wider range of highcalibre leads and occupiers, highlighting the enormous strengths we have in various sectors, from professional services to health and life sciences, and enabling major new investment deals to become a reality.
