Granta Park took its networking ethos to the Great Hall at King's College last week hosting a table of senior scientists at the Cambridge News Business Excellence Awards and sponsoring an award.Explains Granta Park's Marketing and Asset Manager Roz Bird: "Granta Park aimes to add value to the science community by creating networking opportunities which could lead to exciting new collaborations. We call it 'engineered serendepity,' it's the idea that through conversations, in this case over dinner, ideas may, over time, be advanced."
On the Granta Park table were (as pictured left to right, top to bottom) Professor Roger Pederson (Cambridge University), Dr Fabio Magrini (MedImmune), Chris Neild (PPD), Dr Paul Whiting (Pfizer), Dr Nic Bowman (Pfizer), Rick de Blaby (MEPC), Dr James Murray (Vernalis) and Roz Bird (Granta Park).
Adds Roz: "I was delighted that we were able to secure a table of senior scientists at the Awards. I took the opportunity to rearrrange the seating plan at the end of every course, moving guests around the table to enable them to all meet each other and to give them time to discuss their fields of interest. This is part of our strategy to make Granta Park a special science park community that our customers can benefit from."
Granta Park sponsored the businessman of the year award which was won by Mark Davenport of waste management company Donarbon and presented by Ricke de Blaby, Chief Executive of MEPC, the national property company which manages 8 business and science parks including Granta Park.
