Medilink Midlands expands to new campus

Medilink Midlands has become the latest organisation to take space at Charnwood Campus the rapidly growing science, technology and enterprise park.

Medilink has worked closely with Charnwood Campus since it took ownership of the site in 2013, having recognised the potential of the assets and the opportunities that these held for the Midlands life science community and its own growing network.

Similarly, Charnwood Campus - based in Loughborough - are members, advocates and supporters of Medilink.

Medilink 's move comes after Charnwood Campus secured another anchor tenant in the form of Charnwood Molecular, who join 3M, Almac and Kindeva on-site.

By locating on the campus, Medilink intends to play an instrumental role in the ongoing development of the local sector community.

This includes plans to build upon and expand the current events offering to the life sciences community with ambitions for Charnwood Campus to form a central location and hub of activity.

Darren Clark, chief executive of Medilink Midlands, said: “Charnwood Campus has always been a great friend to Medilink.

“It has always been seen as a gem for the region and their commitment to creating a life science community and ecosystem makes it a natural choice for us to establish a base.

“With our own position in the Midlands life science community, we look forward to helping to realise the full potential of the Campus. ”

Gosia Khrais, commercial director at Charnwood Campus, added: “Charnwood Campus offers lab and office space.

“We are introducing a range of business support activities including expert networks meetings, business mentoring sessions, upskilling and recruitment assistance to new and existing life sciences companies from the region.

“We warmly welcome Medilink Midlands as a new occupier that shares our ambition to accelerate the growth of the sector in the Midlands.

“We hope to take our partnership to the next level and develop a tailored and robust framework of support where complementarity of expertise between the two organisations brings unparallel value to organisations looking to grow and scale-up. ”
