University of Oxford spin-out finds home at MEPC’s Milton Park

Living Optics has settled at Milton Park in Oxfordshire, after raising £20m in series A funding in 2022.  The University of Oxford spin-out, which develops hyperspectral cameras that capture information undetectable to the human eye, has signed for 8,000 sq ft at 100 Park Drive.  The new headquarters feature both office and laboratory space to facilitate the firm’s future recruitment and expansion plans.  Connor O’Brien, finance director at Living Optics, said: “Our series A funding underpinned our mission to democratise hyperspectral cameras for the mass market, but it also revealed a critical need for us to find more space and facilities to accommodate for that rapid growth. “Milton Park’s location, its adaptable facilities and the vibrancy of its occupier community was a natural fit for Living Optics. Our new headquarters – complete with laboratory, meeting room and collaboration spaces – suit our future needs perfectly.” Philip Campbell, commercial director at MEPC Milton Park, added: “We think Milton Park as an incubator with strong community collaboration and a long-term track record of nurturing companies along their growth journeys.” To send feedback, e-mail evelina.grecenko@eg.co.uk or tweet @Gre_Eve or @EGPropertyNews
