The latest news from Culham Science Centre

Dr Harry Lamble

CEO, Sense Biodetection Ltd

Oxfordshire is home to the world’s best scientists and being based at Culham provides us with easy access to that talent.

Jon Graham

Chief Executive, JTL

Speaking about the new Oxford Advanced Skills facility : “These are really exciting times for apprentices in the Oxford area. We have been working in Oxfordshire for many years but decided recently that in order to be able to provide the quality of training that young people deserved we needed to launch our own training facilities, which we have now achieved with our premises at Culham.”

Ian Pritchett

Co-Founder, Greencore Construction

It was important for us to have an office in Oxfordshire as it is centrally located with easy access to London. Culham Innovation Centre was the perfect fit with it being located at a science campus combined with the flexibility to expand at the centre without costly overheads associated with office moves.

Joseph Lo

Southern Business Manager, JTL

Consolidating our Oxfordshire training at Culham Science Centre is the perfect fit as we are now based alongside the future of UK power. In addition, the UK Atomic Energy Authority strongly believes in apprentices and equipping them with higher-level skills to help young people advance to senior positions with industry leading employers.

Opinder Liddar

Director, LAPD

The LAPD team is extremely happy at Culham Science Centre, which is why we decided to expand on site rather than move elsewhere. It has a great campus feel and we benefit from being part of a thriving environment with a range of different companies on site.
