Automation and control supplier Beckhoff UK has expanded its coverage of the UK by opening a new office at Bruntwood SciTech’s innovation campus Alderley Park in Cheshire.
The office, which will function as the company’s software centre, allows Beckhoff to have better access to customers in the Midlands, North of England, Scotland and Ireland.
Beckhoff’s office will be based in Glasshouse, where its staff will be able to work and collaborate alongside other innovative firms specialising in areas such as AI, FinTech, and software development.

It will house a dedicated training centre where the company will run regular training sessions on its TwinCAT product range.
“The North West is known for being a leader in some of Beckhoff’s core industries, like pharmaceuticals and processing, so it made perfect sense for us to have a physical presence here,” said Beth Ragdale, product manager at Beckhoff UK.
“Choosing Alderley Park as our new home was an extremely easy decision. It’s home to thousands of innovative companies, some of which we already have relationships with, and others that we want to get to know.”
Alderley Park provides flexible lab and office space, complemented by links to universities and the NHS via Bruntwood SciTech’s partner network.
Mark Julian, associate director for Bruntwood SciTech, said: “The Alderley Park ecosystem has been specifically tailored to support the growth and development of ambitious and innovative businesses like Beckhoff.
“In joining the park’s thriving, growing network, they’ll have access to a broad range of like-minded businesses and organisations both at Alderley Park and nationwide across Bruntwood SciTech’s customer ecosystem to unlock and access collaboration and growth opportunities.”
