BioGrad Opens New Laboratory in York: Discover the £3M Investment Transforming Science Education 

We are proud to announce the opening of our new laboratory in York, marking a significant milestone in our journey of national expansion. As we continue to drive innovation in science education and research, this new venture exemplifies our commitment to helping local communities access opportunities in the ever growing scientific sector.

A Brief History of BioGrad: From Liverpool to Nationwide Expansion

BioGrad’s story began with a singular goal: to provide world class laboratory based education and clinical training to aspiring healthcare and science professionals. Over the years, the company has evolved into a leading name in science education, delivering exceptional training that directly connects participants to employment.


As a testament to our success, BioGrad was the first company in the North West to receive investment from the prestigious Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund II. This funding has been instrumental in supporting our £3 million investment in national expansion.


Since 2022, we have opened four new education centres in Newcastle, London, Birmingham, and Liverpool, each equipped with the latest laboratory technology and staffed by industry experts. Now, with our new opening in York, we are thrilled to be expanding our reach even further, helping more students gain the skills and qualifications they need to succeed in the science sector.

The New BioGrad Laboratory in York: A Hub of Opportunity

Opening this new laboratory in York is more than just a physical expansion. It is an investment in the local community and a commitment to fostering local talent. We believe in providing students with not just an education but also the resources and connections needed to secure employment. BioGrad has already helped countless students across the UK find meaningful roles within the scientific sector, and with the new lab, we aim to support even more people in their pursuit of a career in science.


To achieve this, we are working closely with local councils to offer Skills Bootcamps funded by the government, designed to help people gain the qualifications and hands on experience required to enter the science field. These bootcamps focus on practical laboratory skills and aim to get individuals into employment as quickly as possible. Many graduates from similar programmes have successfully transitioned into roles such as laboratory technicians, research assistants, and clinical trial coordinators.


In addition to providing training, BioGrad is actively hiring local talent to staff our new laboratory in York. We are proud to be creating jobs within the York community, ensuring that our presence has a positive economic impact on the area. By hiring locally, we are strengthening our ties to the community and providing meaningful career opportunities for residents seeking to enter or advance within the science and healthcare industries.

An Investment in the Future of Science

Our £3 million investment into national expansion is not just about opening new locations. It is about ensuring that the UK’s next generation of scientists have access to the very best in education and training. With the backing of the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund II, BioGrad is positioned to continue expanding across the country, offering new opportunities for people to develop their skills and secure employment in a sector crucial to the UK’s future.


In York, this investment will be felt in many ways. The new BioGrad laboratory prepares students for the demands of the industry. The facility will also serve as a research hub, providing opportunities for local companies and institutions to collaborate with BioGrad on innovative scientific projects. As we continue to grow, our focus remains on supporting both individuals and communities through education, employment, and economic development.

Skills Bootcamps: Building a Stronger Science Workforce

A key component of BioGrad’s mission is the Skills Bootcamps initiative, which provides intensive, short term training to help people gain employment in science based roles. Funded by local councils, these bootcamps equip participants with the practical skills that employers in the science sector are seeking. Our new laboratory in York will play a central role in delivering these programmes, ensuring that local scientists have access to the training they need to secure high quality jobs in a thriving industry.


The success of our bootcamp graduates speaks for itself. We have already supported hundreds of individuals across the UK in finding employment within the scientific field, many of whom had no previous experience in the sector. By offering accessible education and hands on training, BioGrad is helping to build a stronger, more skilled workforce ready to meet future demands.
