What makes Nanoco special is the capacity the business has for learning. Our people don’t get pigeonholed into one role, we can move around projects and teams and build our knowledge and experience. This is really refreshing and helps us to be an innovative company that we are.

I do really like the workplace environment, activities such as the annual blood drive and the cycle to work scheme are really good benefits. It’s good to be part of an organisation which actively pushes these things and gets people involved.

The people make the company, the cutting edge knowledge is something you cannot experience anywhere else. For me personally it’s also been great to learn from the legal team we work with and gain from their experience.

I love working in science and having a job which is lab based – the technology we work with is so interesting!

I really like the people I work with, my colleagues are friendly and we have a good atmosphere. It’s a great environment, although it is busy and fast-paced, everyone gets on with their work with a positive attitude and we have good working relationships.

I like to experiment! Even as a small child I had a natural curiosity about how things work, and now I get to find this out in my career! I had always wanted to work in research and I really enjoy the challenge of trying to come up with new ideas and getting good results. As challenging as research can be, when you get the results it’s incredibly rewarding.
