10 January 2011
Colworth Science Park has awarded independent catering company BaxterStorey the contract to provide full catering services across the Science Park. This exciting new appointment comes as the Park’s latest development, The Exchange, progresses further towards completion.
Due for completion in early 2011, The Exchange will feature modern laboratory and office suites, a café-restaurant and state-of-the-art conferencing facilities, all available for use by businesses both on and off the campus.

They will be responsible for the catering on the Science Park from November 2010.

The Exchange will be an asset, not just for businesses on the Science Park and around Colworth but for businesses throughout Bedfordshire and beyond. We want to ensure we have the best team to deliver the high standards that our occupiers at Colworth have come to expect. We are confident BaxterStorey will provide an outstanding service and we look forward to welcoming them to the Park.”
