Jubilee Wharf attracts new innovative businesses

In a great example of life imitating art, Cornwall Pure Business, the county's inward investment body, has announced that three new 'environmentally minded' businesses, SciArt Solutions, SEA Marketing and Lowdon Design, have moved into Penryn's iconic new business premises, Jubilee Wharf. The three join a further 20 businesses already enjoying life in the zero carbon building, bringing great expertise and skills to what is fast becoming a hub of creativity and innovation.  
 
Jubilee Wharf is one of the leading zero carbon buildings in the country. The unique design of the workspace provides a creative and inspirational environment for like minded businesses.

SciArt Solutions, SEA Marketing and Lowdon Design all moved to the county in the past two years, where they have immersed themselves into the Cornish business community.

SciArt Solutions, run by Dr Joanna Henley, uses visual arts to interpret scientific ideas to a wide variety of different audiences. A marine scientist and artist, Dr Henley communicates scientific ideas, such as environmental sustainability, in an interdisciplinary way, working with Cornish schools, museums and the local authority amongst others.  

Dr Henley explains:
"The move to Jubilee Wharf is perfect for my business. Not only does it inspire me to operate more sustainably, it is also an inspiring workspace. I feel the potential of Jubilee Wharf is beginning to be realised, it's a great building and the first of its kind in the UK, and it's a great privilege to work here. Working in the field of both science and art, Jubilee Wharf complements my business ethos perfectly."

Rob Woolf, trading as SEA Marketing, is a web-based consultant who adds value by delivering improvements to the performance of websites and businesses, adds:
"Jubilee Wharf is such a perfect environment to do good work from. There's no hullabaloo here. Just a great space to think and be inspired by, which hopefully comes across in my work."

John Lowdon, owner of Lowdon Design adds:
"We were delighted when the opportunity to move to Jubilee Wharf arose. It's a privilege to be working here. What's fantastic is that there is a real hub of complementary businesses which means we can often collaborate with other businesses on joint pieces of work, which adds to the working environment. It's a great example of how businesses can add value to their clients. For example, as a design company we are always looking at different ways to respond to briefs. At Jubilee Wharf, we have access to interior designers, architects, web designers, who we can share ideas with, providing the client with a more comprehensive offering."

Andrew Marston, founder of Jubilee Wharf added:
"We are delighted that these three businesses have joined Jubilee Wharf, we are now at full capacity and believe the mix of businesses is just right, reflecting the ethos of the development as a whole. At the end of the buildings' first year in operation, there is now a real community here and I hope this will continue to flourish."
