Unilever's globally-renowned research centre has been making our lives better with new discoveries for more than a century thanks to the hundreds of scientists that work in the firm's Wirral laboratories.

Another global company, Bristol Myers Squibb, has also chosen to locate its R&D activities in Wirral, where its Pharmaceutical Research Institute undertakes critical drug-discovery work and clinical trials. With a dozen universities within an hour's drive and a travel to work area that includes some of the highest skill levels in the country, there's never any shortage of world-class brainware here.

If you're pushing the boundaries of science and technology, you'll be welcome in Wirral.
