We’re not just planning for a better future. We’re designing it and building it. Right here.
Research and Development functions are exactly the high-value jobs that Bedford is looking to attract in the coming years. We know that we’ve got what it takes to make a great R&D location, because we already have research facilities of some of the world’s leading companies here. With such an amazing talent pool to draw from and the exceptional academic institutions in and around Bedford, it’s obvious why companies choose to establish R&D centres here:
Unilever
Based at Colworth Science Park, the organisation employs over 800 scientists, technologists, legal professionals and support staff at its Colworth laboratory just outside Bedford. Colworth is the location for three of Unilever’s Global Technology Centres - Beverages, Ice Cream and Frozen Foods. Unilever and Goodman, the UK’s leading business park specialist, are working together, to create a new kind of science park – where the choice of property solutions, level of support and exceptional working environment will make Colworth Science Park a destination of choice for science practitioners.
Colworth Science Park
Colworth Science Park has a world-class reputation for business relevant science and the development of innovative products. Onsite is a diverse and open community where collaboration and interaction are part of the campus culture.
The Future......
The future growth of the Bedford area will see new developments dedicated to the advancement of world-class R&D.
