Biotech firm quadruples operations with Daresbury move
Recircle has relocated to set up in a 5,000 sq ft facility at the science park off Keckwick Lane in Halton.
The biotech firm works across biotechnology, engineering, and polymer science to recover end-of-life rubber and transform it into reusable compounds.
Recircle has moved into the warehouse at Sci-Tech Daresbury, taking up the ground floor of Techspace Two. The whole two-storey building provides a total of 10,000 sq ft of space.
The company’s new headquarters features three lab spaces, a cold room, and an open-plan office.
Bringing together biotech, polymer, and rubber tech science labs under one roof, the company has quadrupled its operational capacity with the move from its two previous sites in Hertford.
Galliford Try constructed the facility at the 250-acre science park in 2015.
Workspace design specialist Eatock Design & Build delivered the building’s fit-out.
Barry Van Bergen, chief executive of Recircle, said: “The new workspace is an exciting milestone for Recircle as it brings together all our advanced biotech research and rubber recycling technology in one state-of-the-art facility…
“The design encourages collaboration and knowledge transfer, and it helps us attract, retain, and motivate our amazing team”, he continued.
“We are continuing to grow, invest in the local area, and build on our commitment to delivering desperately needed sustainability solutions for the world’s rubber.”
Paul Eatock, managing director of Eatock Design & Build, added: “The life science sector in the North West is burgeoning and it’s fantastic to play our part in bringing innovative businesses to the area.
“As workspace specialists too, we understand how important it is that Recircle has a space they can definitively call their own.”
Sci-Tech Daresbury is a joint venture between Halton Council, Langtree Property Partners, and the Science & Technology Facilities Council. The site houses more than 100 high-tech businesses working in research and development, such as IBM and Hitachi.
