During her visit she met representatives from companies including MedImmune and One Nucleus as well as attending a lunch with local companies both on and off the Estate. Says Granta Park’s Asset and Marketing Manager Roz Bird: “Jean was keen to meet the MEPC team and occupiers on the Estate to discuss their work and find out about the issues and pressures they are facing. The companies were also able to ask her about her previous role as head of an authority in Lancashire and about her plans for South Cambridgeshire District Council.”
Says Jean Hunter of the visit: “I was delighted to have the opportunity to visit Granta Park and meet both the people who run the science park and the companies undertaking ground breaking work. Not only is it home to some world leading science as well as smaller up and coming companies it is also an example to many other science parks in terms of its innovative approach to networking and collaboration and its excellent staff amenities making it a development about which South Cambridgeshire can be extremely proud.”
Jean plans to return early in the new year for a tour of the Estate and to visit TWI (The Welding Institute) who are involved in a number of industry leading areas of R&D including Electronics, Photonics and Sensors.
