Currentbody Owner Triples Size of Alderley Park HQ
The Beauty Tech Group (TBTG), a global leader in home-use beauty technology and owners of beauty brand CurrentBody Skin, is tripling the size of its headquarters at Alderley Park in the North West of England. The leading innovation, tech and science campus is owned and operated by Bruntwood SciTech – the UK’s largest property platform dedicated to the growth of the innovation economy, and a joint venture between Bruntwood, L&G and Greater Manchester Pension Fund.
Following four years of rapid growth, driven in part by the international success of the CurrentBody Skin LED mask, as well as its recent acquisition of Tria Laser and ZIIP, The Beauty Tech Group is increasing its footprint from 5,000 sq ft to over 16,000 sq ft within Glasshouse at Alderley Park, providing a new space for up to 200 people.
To ensure the space meets the businesses’ evolving needs, TBTG will move into a newly refurbished, open-plan workspace designed to flex and evolve alongside the business.
Home to a growing generation of innovators
Bruntwood SciTech has been key to supporting this progress at Alderley Park, offering flexible, adaptable workspace, a collaborative environment with more than 250 startups, scaleups and global companies now based at the campus. With a full range of on-site amenities - including a gym, café, event space and scenic routes for walking, running and cycling across Alderley Park – all designed to help fast growing tech businesses attract and retain the top talent they need to scale, Alderley Park delivers a campus experience built to support innovation, productivity and wellbeing.
The Beauty Tech Group remains at the heart of a thriving high-growth innovation ecosystem at Glasshouse, located alongside Airship, Lokulus and Beckhoff, all of which have also recently scaled their operations at the site.
As part of the Bruntwood SciTech national network, The Beauty Tech Group is able to access their 1,100 business community and dedicated growth support including access to talent through their university and alternative training provider partnerships.
Sam Birtwistle, Senior Commercial Manager, Bruntwood SciTech, said:
“The Beauty Tech Group’s growth at Alderley Park is a great example of what providing a supportive, collaborative ecosystem can do for scaling innovative businesses. The campus offers a home for companies of all sizes and sectors with bold ambitions across its 1 million sq ft of workspace, with the infrastructure and support to help them meet their goals.
“Our ability to flex and adapt to meet TBTG’s needs over the years has meant its North West headquarters have remained at the heart of the business. As it grows its presence at Glasshouse, we’re excited to see the next chapter in their success story, and their continued impact within our community.”
Laurence Newman, CEO of The Beauty Tech Group, said: “As an industry leader in home-use beauty technology, it is important that our headquarters reflects our cutting edge products backed by science. Since moving to Glasshouse at Alderley Park in 2021, the group has continued to develop and it was an easy decision to find a larger space for our growing teams. Whilst we are a truly international business with offices in the US and China, Glasshouse at Alderley Park is our HQ and I am delighted to be committing to the future here.”
