Manchester biology services firm wins place on Stock Exchange ELITE list

Manchester-based biology services firm Euprotec has been selected by the London Stock Exchange to take part in the ELITE business development programme.

The programme will provide companies’ executive teams with business support tools, education services provided by Imperial College Business School and access to a select group advisers and investors.

The programme is a two year course for founders and CEOs to help develop their businesses and readiness for investment with support from over 40 corporate advisory and investment partners.

Trade body supporters include the CBI, ABI, BBAA, BVCA and Tech City. In addition, companies will have access to the programme’s ELITE Entrepreneurial Fellow, Sean Phelan, founder of Mulitmap and angel investor.

Xavier Rolet, CEO, London Stock Exchange Group, said: “Having witnessed the success of the ELITE programme at Borsa Italiana, we believe that the environment in the UK is ripe for a similar programme to support high growth businesses.

“Innovative businesses are often the most ambitious companies, but to get ahead they need new resources, new relationships and new funding which many businesses find challenging or time consuming to access.

“ELITE will provide high growth companies with the essential tools they need to develop and help foster a connected financial ecosystem, promoting the right type of funding for businesses at each stage of their journey.

“We firmly believe that these companies will fuel the long-term growth of the UK economy, and that ELITE is a unique platform to help them achieve their full potential.”
