The North West employs the largest number of people in life sciences in the UK outside of the Golden Triangle and with staff that are typically less transient, providing access to a rich and expert pool of talent.
Alderley Park has eight universities with 105,400 science students within a 1 hour drive, producing 32,800 science graduates each year. Recruiting ties with these universities strengthen year on year. Manchester has the largest digital talent pool outside London, an area that will become increasingly important as the life science sector is disrupted in the same way as other sectors.
