From First New Town to Life Sciences Hub
Stevenage was the first of Britain’s post-war New Towns, planned with separate neighbourhoods, a pedestrianised centre and a dedicated employment area along Gunnels Wood Road beside the A1(M). That employment area is now one of the most significant science and engineering corridors in the south east, with pharmaceutical research, cell and gene therapy and space engineering side by side.
The scale of the ambition is clear from GSK’s announcement that it would make 33 acres of its 92-acre research and development site in Stevenage available to create one of Europe’s largest clusters for biotechnology and early-stage life science companies, aiming to unlock up to £400 million of investment and up to 5,000 new jobs. The vision was developed with Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst, the government and Stevenage Borough Council.
What Science Parks Need From a Courier
Life science consignments are rarely large, but they are demanding. Cell lines, reagents and samples may need a fixed temperature range. Instruments need gentle handling and a signature at each end. Some items are simply irreplaceable. A courier in Stevenage serving this sector must carry one consignment at a time, keep it secure and take it straight to the lab. Our chilled courier and medical courier services are set up for exactly that.
