the team
BioCity Nottingham has an on-site team available every day of the working week to offer help and support to the current occupiers and their employees.
We have a "hands on" approach to all aspects of development and management of the incubator from working with potential new occupiers through to managing facilities once they are up and running. We are here to help you to meet your needs.
The BioCity team extends beyond the central office staff to areas such as reception, security, maintenance, catering and cleaning. We work hard to maintain a high-quality environment which can motivate staff and impress clients.
