CK Science
CK Science has fitted into life at NETPark perfectly given its background of supporting science and technology companies with their recruitment and HR needs.
The business, which is part of CK Group, moved into the Discovery Centre at the thriving technology park having worked with various companies on the park prior to the move.
Lorna Crombie, a director at CK Group, said: “NETPark is great for our staff and clients as it’s easy to get to know people here with the many networking events and other site activities taking place all the time.
“We’re on hand to support businesses with their recruitment needs as they grow and find the best people for them with the best fit for their business. It’s really important to us that we go the extra mile and develop solid, long lasting relationships with all our clients.”
Janet Todd, manager of NETPark, said she knew CK Science would fit in when the company approached her about a move onto the park.
Said Janet: “It’s really important to bring the right support companies onto the park and we knew that CK Science had the experience and expertise to provide a highly specialised, quality service to our other tenants should they require it. It was a win-win for everyone.”
CK Group’s head office is in Chesterfield and has been established since 1991. Ten people are based at NETPark.
Janet has also helped the company organise networking events, including the recent NEPIC Cluster Connect meeting bringing together members of NEPIC with professionals involved in the process industries in the North East.
Janet added: “Since CK Science has been here, they’ve gone from strength to strength. It’s been a very successful move for them and for tenants at NETPark in a short period of time.”

The quality of the facilities at NETPark and the attitude of staff is first class. It has a really dynamic, innovative atmosphere.
CPI has developed a specialist offering to support SMEs looking to develop their printable electronics applications and our partnership with Business Durham has been instrumental in attracting several SMEs to locate here in the region.
We initially came because of the printable electronics centre but access to a highly skilled semi conductor workforce in the North East has been a key factor in us staying and growing here, as well as the value for money office space and the access to funding.
It fits perfectly for us that we’re surrounded by like-minded companies at NETPark. There are a number of highly skilled people in the area who can help us grow our business. The facilities and services offered by NETPark are first class, they make office life simple and engaging.
Access to quality facilities was one of the main drivers for deciding to locate the business at the NETPark. We have been able to use this as a launch pad to link into support from CPI and world-class expertise from Durham University.
The proximity to the universities and the infrastructure are very important factors. Ultimately having a presence in Europe is very valuable to us and we intend to stay at NETPark for many years to come.
