What our tenants say

“Having a presence at the 3M BIC is great for us. We started out in a smaller lab, but outgrew it, so we moved into a bigger space. The team at the 3M BIC helped us kit out the lab with a fume cupboard and a washing machine, which we use when we are working with detergents to see if they change the colour of clothes. We also have access to a centrifuge, which is a huge bonus as it’s free to use and means we don’t need to buy one.”

“Being a small business is always higher risk, so being able to make decisions quicker to reduce those risks is crucial in our product development process. Having additive manufacturing technology on our doorstep allows us to create proof of concept prototypes that gives us the confidence to activate larger scale production. The time from concept to reality is reduced dramatically which is a huge benefit.”

"We have been a tenant in the 3M BIC for a number of years and find the office space, staff and facilities second to none. It is a real asset to our business to have an office alongside other entrepreneurial and technology based enterprises in the centre and to mix with businesses in the Kirklees area that come in to the 3M BIC."
