History and Objectives

Porton Down is often perceived as a ‘top-secret’, government site only offering facilities, opportunities and knowledge to civil service scientists.

In reality, it is one of Wiltshire’s best kept secrets - a thriving commercial scientific community, offering a wealth of opportunities to any science-related business or business activity.

Founded almost 10 years ago, using MOD buildings on the DERA (now Dstl) Porton Down site, Tetricus Science Park supports the growth of innovative, sustainable businesses by providing a supportive environment.

Tetricus is uniquely suited to help any start-up or spin-out science company succeed, especially those involved in health care or life sciences.

Facilities/Links

Tetricus is located in the heart of the Wiltshire countryside close to the Hampshire border with quick and easy access to the A30 and A303.

Currently providing approximately 30,000 sq ft of high quality laboratory, office and technical workspace in four main buildings, the refurbished accommodation offers incubator space on flexible easy-in/out lease terms with the added benefit of a full range of support services. 

Medium size suites are available for companies at a more advanced stage of development who may also derive significant benefits from the site’s association with the scientific community and facilities at Dstl and the Health Protection Agency Centre for Emergency, Preparedness and Response (HPA CEPR)

Tetricus’ strong links with the Dstl and HPA provides all tenants with unrivalled access to the world-class knowledge network offered by these organisations.

In addition, Dstl on-site services include specialist laboratory facilities, reception and 24/7 barrier-controlled site security, (free) conference and meeting rooms, broadband, restaurant and fitness centre.

Other Services

Tetricus provides more than just accommodation - on offer is a range of specialist business support services to inspire and advance tenant companies.

These include comprehensive advice and mentoring services to help start-ups exploit and fund their innovative ideas and inventions.  The range of specialist support services are designed to help small companies survive and prosper during the early stages of life. 

Comprehensive advice and mentoring services equip would-be entrepreneurs with the skills necessary to overcome potential hurdles, enabling them to turn ideas into viable commercial propositions.
