    “Having worked at the Innovation Centre for nearly 10 years we cant speak highly enough about the modern building that is well looked after. Parking for staff and visitors is free and it allows us to have a Canterbury address that you can get to without hitting traffic, along with parking up with ease! There is always a friendly face on the reception desk and clients are impressed with our premises. The break out space and cafe is a nice touch and makes you feel part of a bigger team”
