It said the new space would allow the team to all be based in one place and work together more effectively.

The announcement said the Wood Centre had been chosen due to its eco-friendly design and community of business and science start-ups .

It added: "The Wood Centre has been specifically designed as an eco-friendly, energy-efficient building, meaning that it also fits perfectly with our central mission at the Low Carbon Hub, one of our main reasons for choosing this new location."
