The Wilton Centre: A 50-Year Journey Towards Sustainable Innovation Approaching its 50th anniversary, the Wilton Centre’s transformation is nothing short of remarkable. Launched as the headquarters of ICI - once Britain's largest manufacturer - the site welcomed over 1,000 employees on its opening day. However, its industrial legacy also left environmental challenges in its wake. Today, under Pioneer Group's stewardship, the Wilton Centre is a sustainability beacon. The materials that once contributed to pollution are now being reverse-engineered on-site by Intertek. Mura Technology is preparing to launch the world’s first hydrothermal plastic recycling system here. And Stuff4Life Ltd, a fellow resident, is transforming polyester workwear into new clothing, earning a nomination for the £1m Earthshot Prize. With projects like bp's Net Zero Teesside Power operating on-site, the Wilton Centre is more committed than ever to empowering those who tackle planetary and human health challenges. As we approach our 50th anniversary, we invite you to share your memories and photographs. Explore more and get involved 👉 https://bit.ly/3WG8dfj
