"It's a fantastic focal point for innovators, start-ups and scale ups across both the local area and wider region, with office, laboratory, meeting and co-working space; and a top-notch cafe on site.”

Outgoing centre manager, Mr Bell, offered his best wishes to Ms Earl, saying: “I wish Helen and the team every success in continuing the growth of this superb facility; especially given the recent new features that have been invested in, acoustic meeting pods on all floors, enhanced hot desking, and hot fresh food in the café - the centre continues to go from strength to strength.”

The EpiCentre is part of Oxford Innovation Space, the UK's largest innovation centre operator with more than 30 centres and 1,000 businesses nationwide.
