Medical giant Smith & Nephew is to relocate its Hull operations down the A63 to Melton in an £80 million investment.
The global giant, founded in the city more than 150 years ago, is to build a new “world-class” research and development and manufacturing facility for its advanced wound management business at the 200-acre business park.
Simon Fraser, president of advanced wound management at Smith & Nephew, said: “This major investment demonstrates our commitment to the UK and to building our leadership in advanced wound management. Our vision is for a world-class working environment that encourages innovation and collaboration to deliver next-generation products that improve the standard of care for the NHS and customers around the world.
