News: Science park network extends to Rotherham
The Advanced Manufacturing Park (AMP) in Rotherham is ramping up its support for innovation-led companies in the manufacturing industry by becoming a member of the UK Science Park Association (UKSPA).
The AMP is fast becoming the UK's centre for advanced manufacturing research and innovation, both in terms of the technologies being developed at the site and the companies choosing to locate there. Now, the AMP has been invited to become a member of the lobbying and networking organisation UKSPA to further enhance the levels of support on offer to tenants and the wider AEM sector in South Yorkshire.
The senior business development manager of South Yorkshire's Advanced Manufacturing & Metals (AMM) team, Joe Anwyl, said: "Supporting the needs of start-up and high-growth companies is an integral part of the AMP's role in securing a world class manufacturing base for the region.
"Levels of support are particularly relevant during these difficult times, and by raising our profile through UKSPA's network and offering tenants access to its range of added value services, we hope to enhance the already excellent package on offer here."
Paul Wright, chief executive of UKSPA said: "UKSPA now has 72 science parks, technology parks, technology-based incubators and research parks as members throughout the UK. The AMP is a valued addition to the membership that is a very active network dedicated to supporting the growth and development of science parks in the UK."
Innovation-led companies already based at the AMP include Bromley Technologies, the company behind the success of British Winter Olympic and World Championship medal winners.
Originally based in Bath, Bromley brothers Kristan and Richard were one of the first companies to move into the AMP's Technology Centre when it opened in 2006. In the same year, Kristan was offered an associate Professor position with Sheffield Hallam University's Centre for Sports and Exercise Science, and so the company started the search for a suitable location in the area for R&D and commercialisation activities.
Mike Maddock, COO, Bromley Technologies said: "The workshop and office space at the AMP was perfect for us, with the added bonus of being in a high-tech environment which helped us establish the right reputation and image. The networking opportunities working in a "like-minded" community have been invaluable.
The support we have received since we moved here has been fantastic, and as the business has grown, we have been able to forge relationships with other companies based here who are helping us implement our technical innovations. Now we are UKSPA members, this can only enhance the opportunities."
