NanoSight has grown every year since it was established in 2002, achieving a turnover of £5.7 million in 2012, and has ambitious plans for the future. We will be providing the investment and support needed to continue this drive forward and are absolutely committed to developing the NanoSight brand within the Malvern portfolio. “NanoSight’ Jeremy Warren, CEO of NanoSight, said “We have always seen Malvern as clear leader in our sector, and the exemplar of what we wish to become. The plans we have are ambitious and exciting, and the support and reach of the Malvern organization will allow us to grow more rapidly than we could alone.

Malvern is our natural home.” NanoSight employs around 50 people worldwide and will continue to operate from its current facilities in Amesbury, Wiltshire, UK, under the existing management team.
