Lilly Research Centre
The Lilly Research Centre is a medical research centre in Surrey. It is the European headquarters of Eli Lilly and Company.
Lilly received permission for the site in 1959. The site was built by McAlpine. The site was to open by August 1967, being 47 acres
From 1967 the catering was provided by the Bateman Catering Organisation
The former research site of Lilly was at Bromborough.
In 1968, when the centre opened, Eli Lilly was spending £20m on research in the UK. The average research cost of a new molecular entity is currently over £1bn. In 2003, a £40m investment transformed the site into a Centre of Excellence in Neuroscience Research.
Director of Research at the centre was Bill Dawson, a Fellow of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain.
In October 2019, Eli Lilly announced the closure of their Erl Wood research centre by the end of 2020 with some staff moving to other Eli Lilly locations in the local area and neuroscience research moving to the USA. A year later, in October 2020, UCB announced they had acquired the site from Lilly and would complete a refurbishment of the site.
From 1967 the catering was provided by the Bateman Catering Organisation.
