A new laboratory and office deal has been brokered by Vail Williams at the University of Southampton Science Park for an expanding international safety testing company.
The deal will see Chilworth Technology – which began 30 years ago in a single room at nearby Chilworth Manor – taking 16,600 sq ft of office and laboratory space at Phi House.
The new accommodation will also be equipped with a new laboratory wing, almost doubling the capacity of the facility for process safety testing compared to Beta House, Chilworth Technology’s current base, which it has outgrown.
The new lease at Phi House is for 10 years and Chilworth Technology will take up residence in March. The company has been at the science park for 25 years.
Andy Gibbs, Vail Williams associate, business space, said: “This is an excellent result for all parties, helping to unlock business growth and development.”
Vail Williams worked to broker the deal between its client, the University of Southampton Science Park, and Chilworth Technology, and its agent BNP Paribas
