Released: Monday 2nd April 2012

Leading Scottish recruitment consultancy Eden Scott has signed a corporate partnership agreement with BioCity Scotland, the life sciences cluster in Newhouse, Lanarkshire.

Corporate partner status will enable Eden Scott to offer specialist advice to all BioCity companies through clinics, workshops, seminars and presentations. The firm will also be involved in regular BioCity corporate events, such as the BioEntrepreneur Boot Camp in April and the Annual Lecture later in the year.

Craig Jackson, Eden Scott’s Divisional Manager who leads the firm’s Life Sciences team, commented: “Our dedicated consultants’ wealth of experience and expertise gained from their own careers in life sciences, working within several innovative and entrepreneurial businesses, enables us to offer first-hand, technical understanding of our clients’ particular needs and issues. Combined with our in-depth recruitment and human resources knowledge and skills, this allows us to develop specific, tailored solutions to all our life sciences clients’ people-related opportunities and challenges.

Eden Scott has worked with life sciences companies of all sizes, from micro-businesses to listed firms, and at every stage of the business life cycle, so we are well positioned to support all BioCity Scotland companies, whether they are start-ups or longer established operations. Our life sciences team is also able to draw on the vast networks and expertise of our other specialist teams, such as sales and marketing, finance and accountancy and information technology, to provide a joined-up, comprehensive service. With a base on-site within BioCity Scotland, we’re looking forward to playing a proactive role in its development and success.”
