Alderley Park, the biggest life science centre in Europe with £1/2 billion of State of the art laboratories is hoping to be considered for part of the £8 billion investment due to come to the UK from China. To that end, Tatton MP Esther McVey, has scheduled an urgent meeting with Greg Clark, Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, to put in an early bid and to ensure Tatton is considered and on the Government's radar as a key resource for the country's Industrial Strategy.

Earlier this month Esther McVey MP returned to meet company bosses and owners of the Alderley Park site to discuss the unique skill base on the site, as well as meet with some of the leading figures from the rapidly growing science & technology companies on the site. 

One unique feature of Alderley Park is its global expertise of taking a product from concept to market, having on site scientists with this unique commercial ability. The site too is one of only a handful in the country with a Catapult centre providing support for companies to rapidly grow, scale up and share laboratory equipment that would otherwise be prohibitively expensive.
