A COMPANY specialising in the scientific analysis of proteins has expanded in Worcestershire.
Alta Bioscience Ltd, originally based at Birmingham University, has expanded into Redditch, in a property deal sealed by chartered surveyors John Truslove.
Seven staff have moved into premises in Manorside, off Walkers Road, and is now recruiting for two new positions.
Alta Bioscience tests a variety of peptide and protein products, foods and dietary supplements for the pharmaceuticals, biotech and food industry and also specialises in custom peptide and DNA syntheses.
The company is renting its premises in Redditch for £25,000 a year on a five-year lease from landlord Paloma Capital.
Marion Peak, managing director at Alta Bioscience, said: “We needed a more modern facility with room for expansion and are really pleased with our new space in Redditch. It’s a great location for commuting because of the nearby motorway network, and yet is also a pleasant green space with a good working environment.”
Ian Parker, a director at John Truslove, said: “We were really pleased to help the company find the premises it needed to accommodate its important and growing scientific work.”
