Damian Waters, director of CBI North West, said: "Sci-Tech Daresbury is an ever-expanding community of innovation-based businesses, and it makes sense for us to be here alongside them and connecting with the community.
"Not only does the campus provide brilliant transport links to all of the areas we support, but the facilities offering is strong, and the campus has an exciting buzz about it."
The CBI North West’s membership covers Cumbria, Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Liverpool City Region, and Cheshire, and is made up of around 4,000 direct and indirect members.
John Leake, business growth director at Sci-Tech Daresbury, added: "The CBI’s own view of the future is captured in its ‘Seize the Moment’ campaign which champions green growth while also looking at ways for the UK to be successful as a scientific and innovation superpower.
"Seizing the moment is something the innovators and entrepreneurs on our campus live and breathe, and Damian and his team will be a valuable addition to our community.
"The CBI works to champion the knowledge economy, a goal we all share. By proactively speaking to government about issues and opportunities facing business, the organisation helps ensure that firms have voice in shaping the future."
