David Grindrod, University of Warwick Science Park.

This year has seen the economic indicators catch up with the recovery that the Science Park had observed from mid-2012 onwards -  both from opportunities presented to tenant companies and the several hundred businesses engaged through our business support service. There are still risks and challenges, but the Autumn Statement gave grounds for continued optimism. This year has also seen the Science Park achievements grow across the board – highest occupancy for 10 years, delivery of the first Access to Finance support programme for the Warwickshire Rural Growth Network, enterprise workshops for students and recognition by UKTI of the unique soft landings programme UKMAP to mention a few. I wish your business a prosperous and successful 2014 and if your growth requires support please contact us.
