Bioforce, the UK's leading herbal medicine company, has grown rapidly in the last few years. The recent move to Irvine was as a result of an extensive search for the right premises located in the right environment. According to Dr Jen Tan of Bioforce,

"It was important that premises conducive to the image of the company were found, located in an attractive environment and linked to all the major communication networks. At Riverside Business Park in Irvine we found such a location."

Sigma Aldrich are pioneers in cell technology and require a highly skilled, dedicated, and loyal workforce. General Manager Elwood Vogt is rightly enthusiastic about the calibre of employee he has attracted to Sigma.

"A highly skilled workforce is essential to any business, but it is particularly vital for a company like Sigma Aldrich who are involved in research and development work. In Irvine we have found the kind of people, mainly graduates or graduate equivalent, that are essential to the success of our company.

The opening of the new James Watt College in Kilwinning will only add to the already impressive list of further education establishments that serve North Ayrshire and ensure that Sigma Aldrich are able to continue to recruit locally the highly skilled staff that we require."

Roche Products are a multinational company located in Dalry. So why did such a large organisation invest so heavily in their North Ayrshire plant? The site Director Dr Basil Williamson has the answer.

"The decision to locate at Dalry in North Ayrshire was influenced by a whole host of factors. A highly skilled workforce and the identification of a suitable site first attracted us to the area.

The designation of Development Area status was also a factor. Also important was the support and aftercare service we received, and are still receiving, from a variety of public agencies which has been first class".
