Always choose candour
We’re always exploring the new. So we keep our culture open to learning through experimentation and feedback. Because there’s always good in mistakes.
Join us. Let’s shape a sustainable future together.
We’re always exploring the new. So we keep our culture open to learning through experimentation and feedback. Because there’s always good in mistakes.
Together, we carry a cumulative century of experience in different disciplines. We go deep where others stay on the surface. Sharing all unexpected finds along the way.
Great work speaks for itself. We’re here to help you do whatever you need to get there – optimising your output over presenteeism.
Great work requires a healthy body and mind. We’re here to provide you with what you need to thrive.
We share our board deck with the whole team after each board meeting, and encourage them to make every decision as if they’re the one reporting to our board and their name is on the bottom line.
Companies today assume that making any process greener is inherently more expensive and less efficient, so biomanufacturing is never their first port of call.
Every company understands that we are in what has been called the ‘biological century’, and they consider and explore bio-based pathways first before opting for traditional methods across the industrial ecosystem.
We won’t soft sell you with free coffee. We’ll give you paid parental leave; mental health support via Oliva; a £100 a year development stipend to help you learn anything you want, unrelated to your work; a cycle to work scheme; a seasonal train loan scheme, pensions and a whole lot more. And every Wednesday, we eat bagels for breakfast.
Sixteen weeks of full pay for primary caregivers, eight weeks of full pay for secondary caregivers and shared parental leave. Plus, we let your equity vest for six months & make sure you get ‘keeping in touch’ e-mails while you’re out to read whenever suits so you still feel like part of the team.
We firmly believe that therapy can help everyone, and understand that a challenging job can introduce stresses to your life. Everyone in the company can access free one-off or recurring therapy through Oliva; totally anonymous, totally to your discretion.
We give you £100 a year to spend on learning something completely unrelated to your job – recent uses include tennis lessons and a salsa class! But our Lab Operations Manager is a semi-pro skydiver, so she uses hers for wind tunnel training.
You can choose pretty much any bike, but in our office Bromptons seem to be the favorite.
Using public transit is at the heart of a sustainable future. We’re nestled between Euston and Paddington, with King’s Cross not far off. There are 5 different tube stations within a 10 minute walk of the office.
Every Wednesday morning our CEO orders bagels for the team and has breakfast with you. He has given his official New Yorker seal of approval to these bagels, so you know they’re tasty.
If you have a medical condition or an individual need for an adjustment to our process, and you believe this may affect your ability to be at your best, please let us know so we can talk about how we can best support you and make any adjustments that may be needed.
