the team
BioCity Nottingham has an on-site team available every day of the working week to offer help and support to the current occupiers and their employees.
We have a "hands on" approach to all aspects of development and management of the incubator from working with potential new occupiers through to managing facilities once they are up and running. We are here to help you to meet your needs.
The BioCity team extends beyond the central office staff to areas such as reception, security, maintenance, catering and cleaning. We work hard to maintain a high-quality environment which can motivate staff and impress clients.

Toby Reid is responsible for the day-to-day running of the site and services at BioCity.
His career started in engineering and project management. After becoming chartered, he left engineering to start his first company in 2001 and since then has started and raised money for companies in financial services, digital media and business support.
Latterly he ran the Growth Investment Network. Based in the East Midlands, the network, of various funders and advisers, was established to make business owners aware of the opportunities to raise finance and to collaborate to help get deals done.
