Duncan Di Base, Co-Founder of Raising Partners, comments: “We were attracted to Surrey Research Park because it has all the components for assisting and attracting entrepreneurs. Location is key. Guildford benefits from its close proximity to London but start-ups are attracted here because it is cheaper to live and work.It is also an attractive place to live for entrepreneurs with young families. Entrepreneurism is clearly thriving on the Park. We have had a very successful track record helping companies upscale in the last two years and we are planning to expand further. We are looking forward to supporting entrepreneurs on Surrey Research Park and in the surrounding area.”
