New EPIC Centre Director

Hi there, I’m Richard Scutt and I’m the new Centre Director of EPIC Centre in Paignton.

The Centre is host to 14 innovative businesses who employ over 200 people here in Torbay and is part of a growing Hi Tech Cluster.

The centre is full to capacity and provides state of the art workspace, labs and equipment to support the growth of these businesses.

The main specialism of the businesses based at EPIC is microelectronics, photonics and hi tech and serves as a significant catalyst for the local economy and lays a solid foundation for the region to thrive as an innovation and technology hub.

My background is in managing innovation centres and growing an ecosystem that improves the local economy and creates well paid and sustainable jobs.

I am looking to build an ecosystem here in Torbay to support students in schools, colleges and universities interested in technology, to provide start up facilities for entrepreneurs with new ideas, and a range of workshops, online resources and training opportunities to support anyone interested in joining our thriving community.

For further information please give me a call on 01803 714715, e mail [email protected] or drop in and see me at EPIC in Paignton.
