Research laboratory

Scientists working in a laboratory, researching urease inhibitory products from the watercress plant in a light industrial unit from Onyx Business Parks.

Innovative workspace for phytochemicals development

Watercress Research, a phytochemicals-based company spun out from the University of Exeter in 2019, purchased a unit from Onyx Business Parks. They transformed the space into a cutting-edge research facility dedicated to developing urease inhibitory products from the watercress plant (Nasturtium officinale) for use in continence care, cosmetics, and the food and drink industry. The new workspace supports their innovative research and development activities effectively.
