The councillors were given a presentation about the history of the Hub as well as its current work and future aims. Entomics, Aponic and Celbius also gave the Councillors a summary of their businesses during the Hub tour. Enterprise East Cambridgeshire interviewed and filmed Denise Elliott (Industry Liaison) and the Hub businesses; a video will be put onto their new website shortly. An article appeared in the Ely Standard.
This was great coverage for the Hub and we look forward to hosting the Councillors again soon!

Due to the Spotted wing Drosophila which has recently established itself across the UK as a pest problem for fruit farmers to deal with because the fly lays its eggs inside the developing fruit and not just in the rotting fruit. Management guidelines therefore requires that all residual fruit is picked to prevent/reduce the problem of infection and overwintering larvae. The result is a significant quantity of soft fruit waste which our BioBoost project at Innovation Hub has plans to recycle the waste.
