Full in-house lab with purpose built air-conditioned premises. We have 15-minute consults with administration time built-in to the schedule.

We are a friendly team with a close-knit feel and participate in regular team social events. We also provide regular drink and snacks to our staff.

Clifton, located in the southern part of Nottingham, is a vibrant and well-established residential area known for its strong community spirit. Clifton is well-connected to Nottingham city centre via the tram network and buses, we are close to the M1, A50 and M42 as well as directly adjacent to a bus and tram stop.
