Each one of msp’s tenant companies benefits from msp’s links, partnerships and business support in their own unique way, from access to cutting edge science and technology at the nearby University of Manchester to funding support.

msp also continues to support its former tenant companies, known as alumni, who have graduated from the Park and are continuing their success within their specific sector.

Below are a series of testimonials from msp’s current and alumni tenants, detailing how they have benefited from being a part of msp’s close knit community of science and technology companies.

“The Science Park’s links with the university, the networking events organised by msp as well as being located close to like minded businesses have all proven beneficial to our development.”

June Williams, Smerud Medical Research UK

(Smerud are based at Enterprise House on Manchester Science Park)

“Manchester Science Park is the perfect fit for our business, providing a very friendly and resource rich environment which we have have found extremely supportive.”

Bob Dewhirst, Glitch

(Glitch are based at Greenheys on Manchester Science Park)

“Location at msp has been vital to our success in collaborative research as the University of Manchester is the academic partner on two projects.”

Stephen Boult, Salamander

(Salamander are based at Williams House on Manchester Science Park)

“APEM is a science-based consultancy specialising in the aquatic environment. As such being based in Manchester Science Park during our formative years provided us with the perfect business home to concentrate on developing our company.”

Keith Hendry, APEM

(APEM have now moved on from msp accommodation into their own purpose designed laboratory on the banks of the River Mersey)

“Locating from a home base to Manchester Science Park was a natural progression for us as a small company as the site offered everything we needed to move the business to the next level

“As a direct result of the networking events, I made contact with several businesses which later found that they could benefit from our services. This then led to a number of projects which proved very fruitful financially.

“As the company continued to expand we needed a new office and in 2007 we were able to purchase a property in Warrington. The decision to leave the Park was for the simple reason of being successful enough to own a property for future investment and the opportunity to build a further two studios.

“We were based at the Science Park for four very happy and busy years and it really helped us to grow the business with the support from the msp team.”
