Wilton Centre Part of Pioneer Group
One of Europe’s largest R&D sites, the Wilton Centre is ideally positioned for businesses working in the circular economy, life sciences, and sustainable processing and manufacturing technologies.
Set within a 75-acre, beautifully landscaped park, and home to the CPI and Fujifilm, the expansive site is adjacent to Wilton International, within the freeport and sits in the heart of the North-East of England Process Industry Cluster.
Wilton Centre has contemporary office and lab spaces available to rent in North Yorkshire, ideally suited to growing businesses seeking to harness the region’s legacy knowledge to create sustainable manufacturing practices for the biotech products of the future, as well as circular-economy solutions for the petrochemical products of the past.
