R&D for Dagenham

A Cheshire based company, SOG, has been set the task of converting a pharmaceutical plant in Dagenham into a multi occupancy centre with businesses across a broad spectrum.

The plant is currently operated by Sanofi and will close in 2013. It believes the future lies as a research and development facility for science based companies. SOG’s Tim Metson said: “There are thousands of square feet of specialist manufacturing and laboratory facilities on the Dagenham site that would cost millions of pounds to recreate. Our plan is to retain these buildings and offer them to other scientific businesses where they can be adapted to a multitude of R&D projects.”
