Our reputation for being responsive to business is built on decades of successful commercial partnerships. Our staff are deeply rooted in industry to ensure we understand your needs and the complexity of your challenges.

Clients return to us again and again because we search tirelessly for practical solutions and approach projects from different angles. For example, we can apply the latest materials used in aerospace to reduce equipment failures, and use microbiology expertise to create biofuel from waste. Expect creative thinking backed by academic rigour to help you generate significant and measurable impact.

We have considerable experience of working in partnership with the industry, from small local companies to large multinational organisations, including Fosters Bakery, Quorn, Gordon Rhodes, Anglo Beef Processors and Nestlé.  We are also closely linked with the Food and Drink Federation and the National Skills Academy for Food and Drink.
